FGCU WGOLF: 42nd Annual Pat Bradley Invite Preview

The FGCU women's golf team will compete in the 42nd Annual Pat Bradley Invitational beginning Sunday at Lakewood Ranch Country Club in Bradenton, Florida to close out their fall schedule.

"We are excited to have an opportunity to end our fall campaign on a high note," FGCU head coach Sarah Trew said of the 54-hole event. "The Pat Bradley Invitational has been a staple in our schedule, as we have been going to this event for many years and at Lakewood Ranch since 2012. We should be very comfortable at this course and able to help the newcomers manage the course nicely. We look forward to carrying the momentum of our last couple events over and finishing strong."

It will be a familiar tournament for the Green and Blue, who have competed in the event in each of the past 13 seasons. Last year, the duo of Laura Edmonds (T-14th) and Natalia Nassar (T-17th) finished among the top 20. Edmonds had a final round 68 to finish at 217 (+1), while Nassar finished with a 69 and 70 in the final two rounds to finish at 218 (+2).

Ailsa Clark did not compete in the event last year, but shot a 224 (+8) to finish in the top 20 two years ago. She was anchored by a 69 in the second round, helping to improve her 241 (+25) score from the year before. Nassar had the same score as Clark that year, thus making this the third time the junior has competed in the event.

This will be the fourth and final event of the fall season for the Green and Blue, who finished second among 11 teams at the Jupiter Invitational this past Tuesday. Edmonds (212, -1) finished second in that tournament after also finishing second in the Johnie Imes Invitational on Oct. 2.
