SMU look to upperclassmen for strong leadership in UCF Invitationals

Junior Tia Gannon named C-USA Golfer of the Week

SMU women’s golf is heading to Orlando this weekend for the UCF Invitational on March 1-2.
Junior Tia Gannon has been playing well for the Mustangs: she was honored as the Conference USA Golfer of the Week on Feb. 10. The announcement came after she finished as SMU’s top scorer at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Grande on Feb. 7-9.

In that event, Gannon finished with a career-low 54-hole total of 229 (76-75-78). She also tied her career-low round with a 75 in her second round.

Freshman Tanya Wadhwa also did well in their last competition, carding an 18-over 234 in Puerto Rico. At the same event, sophomores Jennifer Hooper shot 25-over 241, Kalie Presti shot 33-over 249 and Liz Wells shot 39-over 255.

The Mustangs finished 15th overall out of 16 teams with a final team score of 953. No. 9 Alabama took home the victory with a team score of 872, which was 11 strokes better than second place Purdue.
