FORT WORTH – TCU will continue a busy season-opening week when it participates in the Big 12 Match Play Tournament, beginning Friday at The Clubs at Houston Oaks in Hockley, Texas.
With seeding decided on the final results of Colonial Collegiate Invitational on Tuesday, the Frogs earned the No. 4 seed and will face No. 5 seed Baylor at 8 a.m. on Friday. TCU will play No. 8 seed West Virginia at 1:30 p.m. later that day. The Frogs will face No. 9 Iowa State Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
On Sunday, TCU will play No. 1 Oklahoma at 8 a.m. At the conclusion of pool play, each team will be ranked 1-5 within their pool based on the amount of points accrued.
The championship match will feature the team with the highest point total from Pool A with the team with the highest point total from pool B. The third-place match will be between the teams with the second highest point totals from their respective pools. Each team will participate during the championship afternoon with the exception of the fifth-place team from Pool A, since there are only nine teams participating.

NOTES
- Two seasons ago, TCU finished fifth at the Big 12 Match Play Tournament, defeating Kansas State, Texas Tech and West Virginia and earned a tie with Oklahoma State. The Frogs went 0-5 last season. The match play tournament began during the 2018-19 season to give Big 12 teams experience with the format that decides the NCAA National Champion.
- Berzina, Fernández de Oliveira, Frimodt and Laussot played in match play last season as freshmen.
- Laussot was named TCU's Student-Athlete of the Week after firing a career-best 4-under 66 in the final round of the Colonial Collegiate Invitational on Tuesday. He finished in ninth place.
