TEE OFF
The Florida women’s golf team heads takes a trip up to Chicago for the Windy Ctiy Classic starting Monday.
TOURNAMENT HISTORY
The outing will mark the seventh appearance at the tournament as Florida last finished third last year behind Jackie Lucena’s runner-up finish. Lucena turned in her second round under par (-1) in round three as she started the day with a birdie on 10 to end with 13 total. She battled Stanford’s Rose Zhang and Texas’ Bohyun Park for individual honors throughout the final day, only finishing one stroke behind Zhang (-4). For four straight appearances, UF has placed top-4 overall at the Windy City Classic.
LAST TIME OUT
Maisie Filler finished runner-up to lead the Gators to a fourth place finish at the “Mo” Morial. Her runner-up performance is the second of her career after she finished runner-up at The Ally last fall behind tying second all-time in program history for low individual tournament at 203 (-13). She did not post a round over par throughout the event and battled back and forth with Kayla Smith (North Carolina) for the individual lead. Filler at one point was 10-under overall and ended 8-under with a score of 208, for eighth-best in program history.
