Preview: The UC Davis women’s golf team wanted to get off to a great start this season.
Five top-5 performances in its first seven tournaments – that will work.
Today the Aggies look to build off of that strong start in a competitive 19-team field that includes four top-50 teams: No. 10 Denver, No. 44 Oregon, No. 45 San Francisco and No. 48 Washington State.
Facing top-flight competition, however, will not be the only benefit from the two-day, 54-hole tournament. From May 8 to 10, the 5,819-yard Lincoln Hills golf course will also serve as host for the NCAA West Regional Tournament.
In their most recent tournament at Oregon, the Aggies finished second with the help of the fourth-place finishes by the freshman pair and a ninth-place performance by junior Bryana Gregory.
Gregory carded a tournament-best 74 in the final round of play after shooting a pair of 76s in the previous two rounds.
Senior Sydney Roughton finished with a total score of 223, good for 23rd place in the tournament.
