Conference History
The Horned Frogs have finished first or second in 14 of their last 20 conference tournaments covering four different leagues (WAC, Conference USA, Mountain West and Big 12).
All-Tournament Team
Annika Clark tied for seventh at last year's Big 12 Women's Golf Championship in San Antonio, earning her a spot on the All-Tournament Team.
Back to the DAC
The Horned Frogs are playing at the Dallas Athletic Club for the first time since finishing sixth at the 2016 SMU Dallas Athletic Club Invitational. As a freshman that year, Annika Clark carded a final-round 69 en route to a tie for 15th individually.
Quotable
"We are honored to be the host of our conference championship," TCU women's golf coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said. "Our players have had a great couple of weeks of practice and "fun" Fridays. This team is amazing! I am proud of their hard work and relentless perseverance throughout the entire year. They are tough!"
The Lineup
TCU will be represented by Greta Bruner, Emmy Martin, Annika Clark, Grace Do and Brooke McDougald.
* In the Horned Frogs' last outing, Bruner was the runner-up at the Bruzzy at Maridoe. The sophomore from Conroe, Texas, has three straight top-14 results, including a fourth-place finish at the Clover Cup. She has shot par or better in five of her last nine rounds and is second on TCU with a 74.1 stroke average.
* Martin has a team-best 74.0 mark. The lone senior in the TCU lineup, Martin tied for 12th at last year's Big 12 Championship. She has two top-10 finishes this season and seven in her career.
* Clark's three eagles are tied with Bruner for the team lead and one shy of equaling the TCU season mark. A junior from Highlands, Texas, Clark has a 74.2 scoring average with two top-10 results on the season. She has qualified to play in next month's Volunteers of America LPGA event in The Colony, Texas.
* Do, TCU's lone freshman, joins Clark and Martin as the only Horned Frogs to play in all nine tournaments this season. The Coppell, Texas, native has a 75.5 mark with a pair of top-20 finishes.
* McDougald has played in eight tournaments, most recently posting a season-best tie for 24th at the Bruzzy at Maridoe. She has a 76.2 season average.
