The Demon Deacons’ lineup features two athletes ranked in the top-20 on Scoreboard: No. 11 Macy Pate and No. 18 Chloe Kovelesky. Freshman Cartoon Rujiranan will make her debut in the five-player lineup. Rujiranan competed twice this past fall, with a season-low round at the Pirate Collegiate Classic to clinch her first collegiate title.
Pate has extended her strong fall, with a T3 finish at the Moon Golf Invitational. The Winston-Salem, N.C.-native has carded two top-three finishes, including her win at the Stephens Cup, as well as a top-15 finish at the Landfall Tradition so far this year.
Senior Anne-Sterre den Dunnen marked her strongest performance yet this past February as she carded a season-low round of 67. The Almere, Netherlands-native recorded her best finish of the season, in T3 alongside Pate.
This year’s tournament will be televised live each day beginning at 2:30 p.m. ET by Golf Channel.
Round one for the Deacons begins at 11:10 a.m. ET. Wake Forest will be paired with No. 8 Arkansas and Ohio State.
