BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Women's Golf will open its spring season with a brand-new tournament of its own, the First Coast Classic. The event co-hosted by the Lady Toppers and North Florida is a two-day, 54-hole event at the par-72, 6,002-yard Deerwood Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla.
On Monday, WKU will play 36 holes beginning with a shotgun start at 7:15 a.m. CT. The final round will be played on Tuesday, also with a shotgun start, beginning at 7:30 a.m. CT. Live scoring for the event can be found here.
In the fall, the Lady Toppers placed in the top five as a team at four of their five tournaments. The first half of the 2020-21 season was highlighted by WKU's win at the first collegiate golf tournament since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the USA Intercollegiate at the beginning of September.
At the First Coast Classic, freshman Rachel Rich will lead off the Lady Toppers with the No. 1 spot in the lineup. The South Carolina native competed in all five fall tournaments for WKU, playing in the lineup twice and as an individual three times. Her best performance was a 7-over, t-18th finish at the Hoover Country Club Invitational.
Sophomore Sarah Arnold will fill the second spot as she gears up for her second spring with the Red and White. Upperclassmen will finish off the lineup as Olivia Reed is third, Megan Clarke is fourth and Mary Joiner is fifth. Both redshirt senior Teri Doss and freshman Addie Westbrook will travel with the squad and compete as individuals.
Nine teams join WKU to make up the First Coast Classic Field. FIU joins the Lady Toppers to represent Conference USA while South Alabama, North Florida, Arkansas State, Stetson, Cincinnati, Bradley and Troy fill out the tournament.
