LINEUP: 1. Keagan Dunn 2. Bri Bolden, 3. Noelle Beijer, 4. Emily Staples, 5. Sophia Yoemans
Senior Keagan Dunn headlines the lineup this week after having a show-stopping performance at the Johnie Imes Invitational. Setting new career-best scores in the round category, event category as well as best-place finish, Dunn looks to keep the momentum going into this weekend.
Slotted in the second spot this weekend is junior Bri Bolden. It was two years ago that she competed in the 2019 Jim West Challenge during her freshman fall season and came out firing, carding an under par round on the first day. With two rounds under par tallied thus far this season, she looks to continue the trend and add to her count.
Veteran Noelle Beijer claims the middle of the lineup as she returns to a tournament that sparks good past results. In the 2019 Jim West Challenge, Beijer carded her previous career-low round score of a 4-under 68 until she broke it at the most recent Johnie Imes event with a 5-under 67. Her previous showing at the Jim West Challnege also included her first event under par as a Tiger, finishing with a 3-under 213 tied for 22nd place.
Sophomore Emily Staples claims the fourth spot for the Tigers. Staples recently just recorded her career-low 18-hole score of a 2-under 70 at the Johnie Imes Invitational.
Rounding out the Tigers is junior Sophia Yoemans who currently leads the team in season scoring average after posting back-to-back event scores of even par 216.
