The SMU women’s golf team travels to Norman, Oklahoma to compete in the Schooner Fall Classic this weekend.
The Mustangs tee off on hole 10 on Saturday at 9:10 a.m. The three-day tournament begins Saturday and concludes Oct. 6 on the Belmar Golf Course.
The Mustangs placed 12th at the Schooner Fall Classic in 2013. SMU is returning four of its five players who competed in it. Jenny Haglund (T-12 last year) is returning followed by Jennifer Park (T-48th), Alexandra Rossi (T-57th) and Lindsey McCurdy. The Mustangs are also bringing Katie Page.
“It is really fun as a coach to play in a strong field,” Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. “You can see what it takes to win, I think it is possible that the NCAA Champion can come from this group. If we win, we know we can compete with the best in the nation. If we don’t, then we can see what it takes to make that next step.”
Oklahoma State won the 2013 Schooner Fall Classic after shooting 868 (+28). The Mustangs shot (895, +55, 306-302-287).
The Mustangs are now coming off of the dramatic victory in the East & West Match Play Challenge in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They want to continue their success and prove they truly can compete with the best of the best.
“We need to keep improving on what we have been doing all year, getting the ball to the hole and believing in ourselves.” Sutherland said. “They can compete with anyone if they do not give up on a shot. We did a nice job of this at Michigan and we look to carry it over to Oklahoma.”
