The Nebraska women’s golf team closes its 2023 fall campaign by competing in an outstanding field at the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C., Oct. 27-29.
The 54-hole tournament at the Country Club of Landfall begins with first-round tee times starting at 7:30 a.m. (CT) on Friday, Oct. 27. The second gets underway with tee times on Saturday at 7:30 a.m. (CT), before the tournament concludes with Sunday’s final-round shotgun start at 7:45 a.m. (CT).
Live scoring for UNC Wilmington’s tournament will be available through Golfstat.com.
The Huskers will be part of a large and loaded field on the par-72, 6,194-yard layout of the Pete Dye Course at the Country Club of Landfall. The 18-team field features 14 teams that qualified for 2023 NCAA Regional competition, including Nebraska along with Alabama, Arizona, Clemson, Duke, Furman, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, NC State, Purdue, SMU, Tennessee and UCF. Arizona, Clemson, Duke, Michigan State and Virginia all advanced to the 30-team field at the 2023 NCAA Championships.
The Huskers will be trying to close the fall season strong following three straight top-six finishes to open the season. Nebraska is coming off a fifth-place finish in a 14-team field at the Dale McNamara Invitational in Broken Arrow, Okla. (Oct. 9-10).
Sophomore Kelli Ann Strand led the Big Red with a runner-up finish at 206 (-10) over three rounds. She added Big Ten Golfer-of-the-Week honors (Oct. 11).
Strand will be playing out of the top spot in Nebraska’s lineup in North Carolina, followed by junior Miu Takahashi, junior Lena Hassert, senior Michaela Vavrova and freshman Arden Louchheim.
Those five Huskers have made up the top five in the lineup in each of Nebraska’s four fall events. Strand (Challis, Idaho) leads the Huskers with a school-record pace 71.11 stroke average over nine rounds, while Vavrova (Bojnice, Slovakia) has added a career-best 71.89 average.
