BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Women's Golf gets a lot of play in on its upcoming spring break trip consisting of two tournaments in the Sunshine State in a matter of eight days. The first tournament up for the Lady Toppers is the UNF Collegiate in Jacksonville, Fla.
"I'm excited about playing in Florida, super warm weather, hitting on actual grass instead of turf," said junior Olivia Reed on the spring break trip. "I'm super excited to see if we improve even more at the first tournament and then at our tournament, the Shootout, so I think it should be really fun."
WKU will play first at the par-72, 5,926-yard Jacksonville Golf & Country Club on Monday and Tuesday. Competitors will play a continuous 36 holes on Monday beginning with a shotgun start at 7:30 a.m. CT. Tuesday's final round will start at 7:45 a.m. CT in shotgun format as well.
In a 15-team field, five of the squads are in the GolfStat top 100 including No. 67 Chattanooga, host No. 86 North Florida, No. 94 Seton Hall, No. 97 Sam Houston and No. 99 WKU.
The Lady Toppers will play Mary Joiner, Megan Clarke, Reed, Sarah Arnold and Bailey Tyree in the lineup at North Florida. Senior Abigail Smee will compete as an individual.
In their last time out at a tournament, the Lady Toppers finished fourth, and the top team outside of Florida, at Jacksonville's Amelia Island Collegiate. Reed turned in a top-1o performance tying for sixth with a 1-under 215 over the three rounds. North Florida finished second at the event at 3-under as a team.
"It was my first time playing there so I was a little nervous on how my first tournament there would go," said Reed on the Amelia Island event. "Our team actually played pretty well, especially only playing about three qualifying rounds before that. We came in fourth and beat a lot of teams which was good considering we're so north."
