Bulls coming off program record 54-hole score of 852 in Dallas
TAMPA, FLA., March 9, 2023 – The USF women's golf team will take on a very strong 14-team field this weekend in the Valspar Augusta Invitational in Augusta, Georgia.
Returning to competition on a short week after competing in Dallas on Monday and Tuesday, the Bulls will compete at Forest Hills Golf Club (Par 72, 6,244 Yards). USF will take on a strong 14-team field with teams from No. 2 Wake Forest, No. 12 Florida State, No. 16 Oklahoma State, No. 21 Florida and No. 24 Duke, as well as Alabama, Coastal Carolina, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, and the host team Augusta.
The Bulls moved up to No. 64 in the nation this week, while Melanie Green rose six spots in the rankings to No. 70 nationally.
The Bulls
Head coach Erika Brennan has announced the following lineup for USF:
"Augusta's event is always first-class and we'll get a chance to see where we stack up against the best teams in college golf. Prioritizing rest, as we come off the SMU event, has been top of mind, and the team is doing all the right things to be prepared. We are familiar with the golf course and it's one we definitely want redemption on from last season. This team is capable of great things."
Last Time out
The Bulls competed in the Trinity Forest Invitational and tied a 54-hole program record, shooting an 852 (-12) in Dallas, Texas, to take third place out of 15 teams.
Sophomore Juliana Camargo paced the Bulls, firing a final round 3-under par 69 to finish fourth overall with a 6-under par, three-round total of 210 on the Trinity Forest Golf Club (Par-72, 6,464 Yards). Her 54-hole total marked a new career-best by eight strokes as she shot rounds of 73, 68 and 69 for a career-best placing.
