BOULDER — The University of Colorado women’s golf team continues its spring season at the Juli Inkster at Meadow Club Invitational, March 6-7, in Fairfax, Calif.
The 54-hole event will be played at the 6,157-yard, par 72, Meadow Club Course with the first two rounds on Monday followed by the final 18 holes on Tuesday.
Colorado is one of 13 teams competing at the Juli Inkster at Meadow Club Invitational, with nearly half of the field ranked among the nation’s top 40 according to GolfStat, including No. 1 Stanford, No. 5 San Jose State, No. 11 USC and No. 23 Pepperdine.
The Buffaloes will be looking to bounce back from a rough open to the spring season. Three weeks ago, Colorado finished last at the San Diego State Classic. The Buffaloes shot a season-high 43-over par in the first round with all five golfers failing to break 80. Colorado shot better in the final two rounds, finishing at 94-over for the tournament.
“Everybody was extremely disappointed, especially the first round (at San Diego State),” Colorado head coach Anne Kelly said. “It motivated us to work a little bit harder and a little bit smarter and also to take a look at the mental site of the game which is so huge in golf; just being able to control your thoughts and emotions.
“As the saying goes, ‘take it one shot at a time’.”
That control will once again be critical as the Buffaloes tackle the Meadow Club course, which was designed nearly a century ago by Alister MacKenzie and Robert Hunter on the doorstep of Mount Tamalpais, northwest of San Francisco.
“It’s definitely a tough course,” Kelly said. “It’s an old course that requires a lot of thought and course management. It’s going to require a lot of patience.
“We’re going to have to putt well. (The course) has pretty undulating greens and they’re big. So we’ll have to use our imagination and creative thoughts with the break; that touch and feel which we’ve been working on as much as we can.”
Freshman Morgan Miller led the Buffaloes at San Diego State, placing 33rd at 20-over, 236, and is Colorado’s No. 1 golfer this week as well.
Graduate senior Haylin Harris will make her spring debut. The Michigan State transfer played in nine fall rounds for the Buffaloes, highlighted by a 3-under, 69 in the final round of the Jim West Challenge.
Sophomores Lauren Gooding and Natalie Vo make their seventh starts of the season and are Colorado’s top two golfers by stroke average. The duo are separated by a mere three…
