Hosted by Michigan State University at Palm Aire Country Club, the tournament will feature 36 holes on Sunday followed by a third and final round on Monday.
The Lady Vols will look to carry over the momentum built in their most recent tournament, a second-place finish at the Collegiate Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico. They posted the best team scores in rounds two and three while being the only school to field three individuals in the top 10.
LADY VOLS LINEUP
Vanessa Gilly
Gilly again paced the Lady Vols in their last tournament, improving in every round to finish in sixth place with a score of 3-over (219). The senior recorded her 31st career round of par or better, currently seventh in program history.

The Thailand native also posted her third top-10 finish of the season, finishing eighth in Guadalajara with a 6-over (222) score. She is looking for her sixth consecutive top-20 finish of the season, a feat that has not been accomplished since Mikayla Bardwell in 2018.

A native of Port St. Lucie, Florida, Holden makes her return to the Sunshine State coming off a T19 finish at the last tournament. Highlighted by a round-three 71, she had the greatest rise in the individual leaderboard on the final day in Mexico.
Bailey Davis
The junior Davis was the third Lady Vol in the last competition’s top 10, tying for ninth with a score of 7-over (223). The best finish of her 2023-24 campaign to date marked the third top-10 finish of her collegiate career.

Arora makes her return to the starting lineup, her fourth on the season. Her first spring event of the 2022/2023 season featured a top-10 finish at the Collegiate Invitational.
