The FGCU women's golf team will wrap up the fall season as they compete in the 41st annual Pat Bradley Invitational over the next three days at Lakewood Ranch Country Club in Bradenton, Florida, hosted by FIU.
The three-round event begins Sunday and concludes Tuesday on the Cypress Links course at Lakewood Ranch. The par-72 course spans 6,288 yards.
"We are looking to go out with a bang," FGCU head coach Sarah Trew said of the team's final tournament of the fall season. "We've already had a record-breaking year so far and are looking to take that momentum into this tournament. Everyone is pretty familiar with this golf course, and it feels like home for us, so we are very comfortable out here. I think we need to keep our focus on playing smart and being aggressive. If we do that we should be able to put up some pretty good numbers."
Last Time Out:
The Eagles competed in the Johnie Imes Invitational in Columbia, Missouri, hosted by Mizzou, where they earned a third place finish out of 13 teams.
