NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma women's golf team travels to Mesa, Ariz., this weekend for the 15-team Clover Cup. The three-day tournament will be played Friday – Sunday (March 13-15) at the par-72, 6,184-yard Longbow Golf Club.
The Sooners, who start four freshmen in their spring lineup, are coming off a tie for sixth place at the season-opening Westbrook Spring Invitational in Peoria, Ariz. The squad recorded a season-best 10-over-par 874 and finished 23 strokes behind tournament champion and 12th-ranked Tennessee. Freshman Hannah Wood paced the Sooners, tying for a career-best seventh place out of 82 competitors with a 214 (-2).
Sixth-year OU head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell said she is excited to see how her team has improved in the few weeks since its last tournament.
“We're excited to go back to the Clover Cup. We played there a few years back and loved the event,” Drouin-Luttrell said. “We've had some great practices lately and everyone has worked hard on specific areas of their games.”
The Sooners, who are paired with Notre Dame and fellow Big 12 member TCU for the first round, will tee off Friday at 11:30 a.m. CT on the first hole.
