LAWRENCE, Kan. - The Kansas women's golf team is set to host the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Lawrence Country Club, Oct. 7-8 for the team's third tournament of the fall.Â
Â
"We could not be more excited to host at Lawrence Country Club this week and to have our players compete at a course we love and play often," said head coach
Lindsay Kuhle. "Lawrence Country Club is demanding off the tee and with distance and directional control on approach shots, which I think gives us a huge advantage this week."
Â
The Jayhawks will compete in a 12-team field that includes Central Arkansas, Cincinnati, Delaware, Eastern Michigan, Fresno State, Grand Canyon, Kent State, Long Beach State, Missouri, Northern Colorado and San Francisco.Â
Â
Nine student-athletes on Kansas' roster will compete in this event. Kuhle's lineup will consist of seniors
Lily Hirst,
Johanna Ebner and
Jordan Rothman, junior
Amy DeKock and sophomore
Lyla Louderbaugh. Kansas "B" will consist of senior
Lauren Clark, juniors
Ruth Toennessen and
Anna Wallin and freshman
Lauren Madson.Â
Â
"Johanna, Lily and Jordan have been playing well for us last tournament and this week prior to our event and will be in the same team lineup with Amy and Lyla, who have also been very steady and consistent at Lawrence Country Club,"Â Kuhle said.Â
Â
The Jayhawks are coming off their first tournament win of the season at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic, shooting impressive team scores of 288-277-284 (-15). Kansas was led by Hirst, who finished tied for fourth at -7.Â
Â
"We're excited to play in front of a crowd and have our friends, family and staff out to see us this week," said Kuhle. "We just can't wait to get started."
Â
The Jayhawks are set to tee off at 8:00 a.m. CT on Monday, Oct. 7 and will be grouped with San Francisco and Kent State. The Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational will consist of 36 holes on Monday and 18 holes on Tuesday.
