Columbia, MO - The University of Missouri Women's Golf Squad looks to continue what has been an outstanding fall season so far when they travel to the Mason Rudolph Invitational this weekend. The Tigers are coming off of a second straight third-place finish this past weekend at the Jeannine McHaney Invitational.
Junior Maria Ohlsson leads the Tiger attack with a 71.80 per 18-hole stroke average through the Tigers' first two tournaments. Two of Ohlsson's five rounds this fall have been under par and she has recorded first and fourth place finishes. Sophomore Denise Knaebel and senior Mindy Bullard have also been extremely solid, registering 73.40 and 76.00 per 18-hole stroke averages heading into the weekend. Knaebel equaled her best finish of her career with a second place showing at the Lady Northern while Bullard shot 73 in the first two rounds of the Northern to finish in a tie for 8th.
Freshman Madde Augustsson has made a solid debut as a Tiger, with her best effort coming last weekend when she finished in a tie for 36th at the Jeannine McHaney. After recording a solid weekend last weekend while playing as an individual, junior Kelli Strubinger will get her chance in the Tiger line up.
The tournament will be played this weekend at the par-72, 7,200-yard Vanderbilt Legends Club on the Ironhorse Course. The three-day championship will begin on Friday and run through Sunday.
