Huskers Open Hall Era in Texas – University of Nebraska

The Nebraska women’s golf team begins the Breanne Hall-coaching era by opening the 2025 fall season at the Sam Golden Invitational in Corinth, Texas (Sept. 8-9).

The two-day, 54-hole event hosted by the University of North Texas on the 6,343-yard, par-72 layout of the Oakmont Country Club opens with an 8:30 a.m. (CT) shotgun start for two rounds of continuous play on Monday, Sept. 8. Following Monday’s 36 holes, the tournament concludes with the final round on Tuesday, Sept. 9 with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. (CT).
