Quote of the Day
"We are so grateful to compete in such an awesome tournament," TCU Head Coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said. "We have really prepared well and look forward to playing with passion and a relentless spirit on such a beautiful course."
The Team
The Horned Frogs' 285.9 team stroke average this season is on pace to set a program record. TCU established a school mark this fall with a 32-under 832 to finish second at the Jim West Challenge. The Horned Frogs were also 21 under in placing third at the Sam Golden Invitational.
The Lineup
TCU's lineup for the Clover Cup will feature Sabrina Iqbal, Caitlyn Macnab, Valeria Pacheco, Trinity King and Lois Lau.
Iqbal, ranked 33rd nationally by Golfweek, is on pace to break her own TCU season record with a 70.4 stroke average. She also has a team-best seven sub-70 scores in just 15 rounds, en route to three top-five finishes in five tournaments this season. The San Jose, Calif., native has 24 top-20 results, including 15 in the top 10, in 34 career tournaments.
A freshman from Johannesburg, South Africa, Macnab is second on TCU with a 71.6 mark that would also break Iqbal's 72.0 TCU record in 2019-20. In just her second collegiate tournament, Macnab set a TCU 54-hole mark with a 13-under 203 to finish second at the Jim West Challenge.
Pacheco, a senior from Hallandale Beach, Fla., is having a career-best season for the third straight campaign. Her scoring average has dropped each year from 76.4 to 76.3, 74.7 and now 73.2.
King will be in her second tournament of the season. She competed as an individual at the Schooner Fall Classic and had an opening round 1-under 69.
Lau has played in all but one tournament over her two seasons at TCU. She has a 73.3 stroke average after posting a 74.4 mark as a freshman last year. Her career-best tournament saw her record an 8-under 208 to tie for seventh at the Jim West Challenge.
