About the Course
Orange Tree Golf Club is a family owned and operated private golf club in the heart of the Dr. Phillips area. Designed in 1972 by Joe Lee, Orange Tree Golf Club features 7036 yards of gorgeous fairways and greens; and with six sets of tees to choose from, Orange Tree Golf Club is the perfect course for players of all ages and skill levels. For 48 years we have been considered the "hidden gem" of Orlando, with a well-deserved reputation for excellence in design and course maintenance. We are a U.S. Open Local Qualifier, and a Florida State Senior Open Qualifying course. We are widely known for having excellent greens, and we feature what many consider to be the best three finishing holes in all of Florida… "The Loop."
Mastodon Lineup
Arny Dagsdottir, Anna Olafsdottir, Laura Caetano, Luiza Caetano and Taylor Norman will compete for the Mastodon team score. Natalie Papa will play as an individual.
Golfer of the Week!
Arny Dagsdottir was the first Mastodon to be named the Horizon League Golfer of the Week on February 16. She tied for eighth at the Utah Tech Cafe Zupas Trailblazer Invitational with a two-round score of 77-76-153. She was one of just six players in the field to record an eagle, and the only one in the first round. She finished the week with four birdies and 19 pars in addition to her eagle.
One in a Brazilian
Laura Caetano, a native of Brasilia, Brazil, has the third-best career average in Mastodon history. She has an average of 79.43, which only trails Holly Anderson's 77.39 and Anna Olafsdottir's 79.18. Anderson played for the Mastodons from 2018-21. Caetano's career-best of 72 came in her first round at Purdue Fort Wayne at the Golfweek Program Championship in 2019.
Ice Cold
Anna Olafsdottir ranks just behind Anderson in career scoring average. The junior from Iceland is averaging 79.18 strokes per round. She has a top-five and four top-10 finishes in her career, the most recent of which came at the Dayton Flyer Invitational on October 18, where she took ninth.
Down Go The Records
Purdue Fort Wayne had nearly all of its tournament records fall at the Cardinal Classic on September 20.
18-Hole Individual: Anna Olafsdottir - 69 - tied two other Mastodon players
36-Hole Individual: Anna Olafsdottir - 140
54-Hole Individual: Anna Olafsdottir - 217
36-Hole Team: 596

Last Time Out
Anna Olafsdottir led the Mastodons with an 11th-place finish at the Bright's Creek Women's Intercollegiate.
