Scott is the Tiger men's most experienced player, having made MU's Big 12 Championships lineup all three years he has been eligible. He led Mizzou with eight top-10 finishes last season, including five of his final six outings. Scott tied for third at the NCAA Central Regional which was the best ever finish for a Missouri golfer and he earned All-Big 12 Tournament honors with a fifth place finish.

Munzlinger earned All-American Honorable Mention honors last season, along with being named to the All-Big 12 Conference First Team for the second straight season. She had a stroke average of 74.91 last season, which was the second best on the team. Munzlinger has finished in the top-15 at the Big 12 Championships all three years she has been at Missouri.

The Mizzou men are coming off the season-opening Missouri Intercollegiate, where they took the tournament title. They will next play in the Coca-Cola Tournament of Champions next Monday and Tuesday in Knoxville, Tenn. The Tiger women open their season with the Badger Invitational on Sunday and Monday in Madison, Wis.
