Women's Golf Heads to Summit League Championship This Weekend
4/19/2019 2:03:00 PM | Women's Golf
The Purdue Fort Wayne women's golf team is heading to the Summit League Championship this weekend, with the first of three rounds taking place on Sunday (April 21).
Event: Summit League Championship
Host: The Summit League
When: April 21-23 | 8 a.m. tee times Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
Where: Sand Creek Station Golf Course | Newton, Kansas
Par: 72
Yardage: 6,030
Competing Teams
All nine Summit League teams will compete: Denver, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Oral Roberts, Omaha, Purdue Fort Wayne, South Dakota, South Dakota State, and Western Illinois.
The Course
The course plays on the town's railroad history, and many holes are, as they say in Scotland, "hard by the cinders," continuing a century's old tradition of golf bordering railways. We have also recreated the famous Road Hole green on our 16th Hole, which once sat adjacent to a railway. Another replicates the famous "Redan" from North Berwick, Scotland. Other holes have characteristics of early American holes, which also fronted railways at one time. The 12th hole for example, is similar to the fourth at the National Golf Links of America, one of our early classics. The ninth features a small platform green; typical of early American courses while the green on the par 5 fourth has some wild contours, seldom built these days.
Mastodon Lineup
Holly Anderson, Abigail Carlsen, Linnzie Richner, Paige Bird, and Emma Schroeder will be the Mastodons competing at the Championship.
Last Time Out
The 'Dons competed at the Indiana State Invitational, finishing ninth. Holly Anderson and Abigail Carlsen tied for the lead on the Purdue Fort Wayne squad at 153 (+9).
