SUNSET, S.C. – Tennessee’s women’s golf team is set to conclude its regular season at the Clemson Invitational, hosted by Clemson at The Reserve at Lake Keowee, running March 24-26.
The 16-team field will participate in a three-day, 54-hole event, with 18 holes being played each day.
Last season, Tennessee had a strong showing at the Clemson Invitational, with LVFL Mikayla Bardwell and junior Kayla Holden recording top-20 finishes, tying for 15th and 19th place, respectively. As a team, the Lady Vols finished play in ninth place out of the 17-team field.

Arora is coming off an impressive performance at the Clover Cup, where she captured the individual title after shooting -11 overall, the second-lowest 54-hole score (relative to par) in program history.
