ATLANTA – Coming off a record-setting round in the last event, the Georgia State women's golf team will return to the course starting on Monday for the River Landing Classic at River Landing Country Club in Wallace, N.C.
The Panthers are coming off a tie for fifth place at the Amelia Island Collegiate where they shot a final round 1-under par 287 which was the lowest round for the program in four and a half years. Junior Chloe Howard led the Panthers with a tie for eighth shooting a final round 3-under par 69 on her 21st birthday.
A talented field of 12 teams will compete in the 54-hole event over two days along the eastern shore of North Carolina.
"We're excited to keep our momentum going and have another chance to compete this weekend," head coach Jessica Steward said. "Although we've had a lot of rain in Atlanta lately, we've still been very productive at practice thanks to our new facility and I'm confident the Panthers are ready. We're going to see a lot of new teams at this event, which will be a great opportunity to prove ourselves on a slightly different stage."Â
The field will play a practice round on Sunday, before playing 36 holes in a shotgun start on Monday morning beginning at 8:45 a.m. The final round is set for 9 a.m. shotgun start on Tuesday.
Along with Georgia State, the field will include host UNCW, Boston University, Bradley, Charleston Southern, ETSU, High Point, Jacksonville State, Marshall, Richmond, USC Upstate, and William & Mary.
This week's line-up will include senior Harmanprit Kaur, junior Chloe Howard, sophomore Emma Berlin, along with freshmen Kelly Strickland and Jenny Marston.
Marston leads the Panthers with a 74.25 scoring average, while Berlin is second at 74.73 and a pair of top 25 finishes.
