TCU heads to Tucson, Arizona for penultimate regular season event
FORT WORTH – The stretch run in the 2023-24 regular season for TCU begins with a spring break stay in Sonoran Desert.
The Horned Frogs are set to compete in the 25th MountainView Collegiate, beginning Friday at The Preserve Golf Club in Tucson, Arizona.
The 15-team, 81-player event takes place over three days. The tournament is co-hosted by Kansas State and Missouri.
TCU entered its fourth unique lineup in as many spring outings. Competing for the Horned Frogs are Lois Lau, Sofia Barroso Sa, Kirstin Angosta, Meagan Winans and Sheridan Clancy.
The MountainView Collegiate is annually one of the highlights on the Horned Frogs' calendar. TCU is participating in the event for the third straight season.
TCU carded the sixth-lowest 54-hole team score in tournament history 2023, shooting a 22-under 842 to place third outright. The Horned Frogs led the tournament following round one at minus-22 (276). TCU finished ninth in 2022.
The weekend affair affords TCU a chance to continue its push for a 20th consecutive NCAA Regional invite. Eleven of the 15 teams in the tournament field crack the top-70 of the Scoreboard team rankings. TCU jumped from 74th to 66thafter tying for sixth at The Show on March 5.
The Course – The Preserve Golf Club – Par 72 / 6,345 Yards
Nestled within the western foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Pre- serve Golf Course in Tucson features excellent views as well as dramatic elevation changes. The layout features rolling fairways and undulating greens that cause uneven lies, but the golf course is still eminently play- able for golfers of all skill levels. The layout utilizes the rolling desert ridges and deep arroyos, creating a golf course that is as challenging as it is scenic. One of the most notable holes on the Preserve Golf Course is the par-3 sixth, which features an 80-foot vertical drop to the green.
