Women’s Golf Heads to Huntsville.org Intercollegiate

TROY, Ala. – The Troy women's golf team is back in action Monday and Tuesday at the Huntsville.org Intercollegiate hosted by Samford at the RTJ Hampton Cove Highlands Course.

The Trojans opened the spring last week with a sixth-place finish (15-team field) at the Babs Steffen Invitational led by junior Katelynn Altese's tie for 12^th place finish on the individual leaderboard. Altese was head coach Randy Keck's most consistent performer during the spring opener, as she played all three of her rounds at 5-over or lower.

Freshman Mathilda Ringblom earned a spot in the lineup for the spring opener (just second appearance of the season) and delivered as Troy's clubhouse leader following the first 36 holes en route to a 26th-place finish, second best on Troy's card.

Troy played well in the event last season, finishing second to Lipscomb behind strong individual performances from Laura Fangmeyer (T7th, +7) and Alyssa Mercado (T13, +9). In last year's event, teams cracked the 200s just 10 times out of the 48 team rounds played, with the Trojans responsible for two of those rounds.

About the RTJ Hampton Cove Highlands Course
The Northern gateway to the Trail is Hampton Cove in Huntsville, a 54-hole facility with terrain that drastically changes from one side of the property to the other. The Highlands Course is one of the most picturesque and playable courses on the Trail. Long, waving grasses frame dramatically, rolling terrain and beautiful bent grass greens. Completely different from the Highlands is the River course, the only Robert Trent Jones layout in the world designed without a single bunker. One of the most recognizable landmarks on the Trail is the old mule barn beside the fifth hole, while the finishing holes on the Highlands course are among the most scenic and challenging on the Trail.
