Senior Noelle Beijer (Assendelft, The Netherlands) will represent the Black and Gold in the third slot this week. The veteran threw down an eagle and six birdies at the Bruzzy to match her season-best event score, a 6-over 222.
Sophomore Sophia Yoemans (Redwing, Minn.) claimed the Tigers' fourth spot as she looks to break into the Top-30 for what would be her best-place this season.
Freshman Emily Staples (Orlando, Fla.) will be making her SEC Championship debut in the final spot for Mizzou this week.
