TAMPA (March 26, 2022) – The University of South Florida women's golf team continues its spring slate at the Chattanooga Classic at Council Fire Golf Club beginning on Sunday, March 27. The three-day tournament is hosted by the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.
The 20-team field at the Chattanooga Classic includes: South Florida, Chattanooga, Central Arkansas, Colorado State, Duke, ECU, ETSU, FAU, FIU, Indiana, Iowa, James Madison, Middle Tennessee, Murray State, UNF, Old Dominion, Samford, Southern Miss, UTSA, Wisconsin and Yale.
The Bulls will be paired with Wisconsin and Yale in Sunday's first round tee times beginning at 8:30 a.m. at hole one. Complete tee times will be available on Saturday. Teams will play 18 holes each day Sunday-Tuesday.
Head coach Erika Brennan (4th season) has announced the following lineup for South Florida: Melanie Green (Medina, N.Y.), Morgan Baxendale (Windermere), Leonor Medeiros (Palmela, Portugal), Ana Maria Barriga (Neiva, Colombia) and Juliana Camargo (Bogota, Colombia). Ashley Zagers (Oldsmar) will compete as an individual.
"We've had a chance to reset and regroup and now we're eager to get back at it and test our games in Chattanooga," Brennan said. "The course should set up nicely and it looks like the weather will be more favorable. The team has been putting in lots of effort and their focus has been sharp, and that should translate to what we'd all love to see on that scoreboard. The key continues to be only concerning ourselves with the controllables."
The Bulls have faced difficult course and weather conditions in each of their last two events at the Trinity Forest Invitational and Valspar Augusta Invitational. The Valspar was cut short to only 36 holes due to the conditions.
USF has four top-four finishes through seven events this season, including two runner-up finishes. Green recorded her first collegiate win at the Trinity Forest Invitational on March 7-8 as the sophomore successfully weathered the conditions and was just one of two players to shoot even par at the event.
Green's 71.05 scoring average leads the team followed by Baxendale (73.31). Green has tallied six top-25 finishes on the season and carded rounds of par or better in 15 of the 19 rounds played.
