Horned Frogs begin play Saturday in Austin
FORT WORTH -- The TCU women's golf team returns to action Saturday when it begins play at the Betsy Rawls Invitational in Austin, Texas.
When Last in Action
TCU opened its season Sept. 27-28 with a tie for second place at the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman, Okla. Nine of the 11 teams in the field were Big 12 members. Jennie Park was the top Horned Frog as she tied for sixth with a 2-over-par 212.
The Event
The Betsy Rawls Invitational is held at the par 72, 6,331-yard UT Golf Club. This year's format will feature 36 holes Saturday and 18 Sunday.
The Horned Frogs are playing in the Betsy Rawls Invitational for the second straight fall. At last year's event, TCU finished ninth. Its 4-under-par 284 over the final 18 holes tied for the 17th-best round in the tournament's 47-year history. The Horned Frogs were also 1 under over the final two rounds. Sabrina Iqbal carded a then-career low 5-under 67, tying for the fifth-best round at TCU and the sixth-best score in the tournament's history. She tied for ninth with a 1-under 215.

"It's great to be back at it again, this time in Austin," TCU Head Women's Golf Coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said. "We will feed off the momentum from our first tournament while improving on things we worked on these past 10 days. The ladies have been dedicated to practice and competing all week. Texas always puts on a great event for our student-athletes. We are so excited to swing into action and play with TCU passion, class and character."
The Lineup
TCU's lineup will feature Jennie Park, Lois Lau, Sabrina Iqbal, Grace Do and Sabrina Nguyen.
