Columbia, MO - The No. 16 ranked University of Missouri Women's Golf squad travels to Norman, OK, for the two-day Susie Maxwell Berning Classic at the Trails Golf Club (par-72, 5,920 yards) this weekend. The tourney begins on Sunday morning with the 16-team field playing 36 holes on the opening day and then wrapping up play with 18 holes on Monday.

Mizzou is coming off its sixth top-five team finish in eight tournaments played so far this season after they registered a third place finish at the Mountainview Intercollegiate two weeks ago. The Tigers shot an 881 for the tournament, just two strokes off of the school-record total they registered in their spring opener at the Central District Invitational (879). Senior Maria Ohlsson was the Tigers' top individual finisher with an eighth place finish (222). She fired a 69 in the second round to lead Mizzou to its third place finish.
