TCU will play 36 holes Friday and 18 Saturday. Both days begin with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. Live scoring is available at Golfstat.com.
The Horned Frogs are in the SMU DAC Invitational for a third straight year. Prior to its appearance at the 2014 event, TCU had not played in a local tournament since hosting the 2004 Conference USA Championships at Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth.
"We are so excited to play in front of a home crowd this week," TCU head women's golf coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said. "Confidence continues to grow as we compete in our final regular-season tournament. The team is playing its best golf, and the synergy is high!"
TCU's lineup will include Kelly McGovern, Emmy Martin and a trio of freshmen in Brooke Graebe, Annika Clark and Brooke McDougald.
Graebe earned medalist honors at the Notre Dame Clover Cup with a 6-under-par 210. Graebe, ranked 89th nationally and No. 236 in the world, has a team-best 73.7 stroke average with six top-20 results in seven tournaments.
McGovern is second on TCU with a 74.3 mark. She has rankings of No. 127 in the nation and No. 181 in the world. The junior from The Woodlands, Texas, has had efforts this season that include runner-up at the Golfweek Conference Challenge and a tie for third place at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic. She won all four of her match-play contests at the San Diego State March Mayhem.
Clark recorded her second top-10 result of the season with an eighth-place finish after a 1-under 215 at the Notre Dame Clover Cup. She is third on TCU with a 75.0 mark.
Graebe, McGovern and Clark are the lone Horned Frogs to play in all eight events this season.
McDougald went 3-1 at the SDSU March Mayhem. She will be in her third tournament of the season.
Martin has a 76.1 stroke average with a pair of top-12 finishes.
The Horned Frogs have six top-10 results, including three as runner-up, in their eight tournaments this season. TCU split four matches at last weekend's SDSU March Mayhem.
