Minnesota Ready for Indiana Invitational
4/16/2021 10:30:00 AM | Women's Golf
The University of Minnesota women's golf team will conclude the 2021 regular season with a trip to Bloomington, Ind. for the Indiana Invitational, hosted by Indiana University. The 54-hole tournament will take place at The Pfau Course at Indiana University, a 6,254-yard par 72 course; with 36 holes to be played on Saturday, the first day of the tournament and the last 18 holes will be completed on Sunday.
The Indiana Invitational marks the first-ever women's collegiate tournament to be played at The Pfau Course. Designed by highly-acclaimed architect Steve Smyers and two-time major winner and Hoosier native Fuzzy Zoeller, The Pfau Course opened to the public on June 15, 2020 and offers a unique, world-class layout that is set in the natural beauty of southern Indiana. Among the notable features are 147 bunkers, greens that range in size from 4,145 to 10,014 square feet, and six sets of tees that extend to as much as 7,908 yards. Smyers utilized the area's natural topography in designing the course, while also highlighting the combination of forest, open space and forest edges that result in both amazing views and a wonderful golfing test.
Minnesota's will send out a lineup featuring Annabelle Ackroyd, Joanne Free, Grace Curran, Emma Carpenter, Grace Kellar and Jessica Lee.
In their most recent action at the Indiana Spring Challenge, two Minnesota women's golfers in Annabelle Ackroyd and Joanne Free finished among the top-10. Sophomore Annabelle Ackroyd set a career-best tournament score of 219 (69-74-76--219), which was previously 220 set last season at The Gold Rush. Ackroyd also set a career-best tournament score to par at +3 and tied her career-best finish as she came in a two-way tie for seventh place.
Joining Ackroyd in the top-10 was senior Joanne Free (76-74-72--222) who tied for ninth overall and set a career-best finish. Free had a strong close to the tournament, shooting par in the third round.
Sophomore Emma Carpenter (76-76-72--224) was 14th overall after also shooting par in the third round. Grace Curran (75-76-74--225) and Grace Kellar (73-77-75--225) finished tied for 15th.
Senior Jessica Lee will make her season debut this weekend. She competed in three tournaments during the 2019-2020 season and placed 69th at the Juli Inkster Invitational as her top finish.
In addition to Minnesota and host Indiana, the field includes Illinois, Iowa, Kent State, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers, Wisconsin and Xavier.
The competition will begin Saturday, April 17th at 8:15 with continuous play into the second round before the tournament wraps up on Sunday, April 18th with another tee time of 8:15 am. Fans can follow along using the Golfstat link above.
