The University of Memphis women's golf team travels to Texas to compete in the fifth annual Tapatio Springs Intercollegiate Shootout hosted by Baylor University beginning Thursday.
The three-day tournament will take place at the Tapatio Springs Golf Resort in Boerne, Texas. The 6,007 yard, par-72 course is located 20 minutes northwest of downtown San Antonio, Texas. Although the Lady Tigers will make their first appearance in the tournament, the program has ties to the shootout. Former Lady Tiger Natalie Tucker (1997-99) won the inaugural tournament in 2001 while with Indiana University.
Eighteen schools compete in the tournament five teams in Golfstat's top 50. Two universities joining C-USA competition next year are also in the tournament--UTEP and SMU.
Memphis competes in the tournament after finishing 16th at the UNLV Spring Invitational last week. Following the Tapatio Springs Intercollegiate Shootout, the Lady Tigers have one more spring tournament, the Southern Mississippi Invitational, before hosting the Conference-USA Championship at the Germantown Country Club on April 18-20.
