WACO, Texas – Baylor women’s golf tees off the 2020-21 season at the Schooner Fall Classic, which runs Sunday and Monday at Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla. The Bears’ lineup for the season opener consists of a pair of All-Americans, along with a trio of freshmen.

The Bears take on an 11-team field featuring all nine Big 12 programs, as well as North Texas and Arkansas State. Four teams in the field finished the 2019-20 season ranked top-25 nationally according to Golfstat – No. 2 Texas, No. 17 Oklahoma State, No. 20 Baylor and No. 24 Texas Tech. Oklahoma finished at No. 28, followed by No. 45 TCU, No. 49 Iowa State, No. 51 North Texas, No. 79 Kansas State, No. 100 Kansas and No. 122 Arkansas State.

Players from each team will tee off together with 15 minutes between tee times in order to maintain social distancing. Baylor has the final tee time in Sunday’s first round, starting from No. 10 at 9:45 a.m. CT. Sunday’s play will continue for a second round in the afternoon, followed by a final round on Monday.

Baylor’s lineup includes three freshmen and is led by redshirt junior Gurleen Kaur. She’s followed by redshirt freshman Hannah Karg in the No. 2 spot, freshman Britta Snyder at No. 3, sixth-year senior Elodie Chapelet at No. 4 and freshman Rosie Belsham at No. 5.

Head coach Jay Goble returns for his 10th season leading the Baylor women’s golf program. He’s led the Bears to seven of eight possible NCAA Regional appearances during his tenure, including a school-record four NCAA Championship berths. Goble is assisted by Carly Ludwig, who is in her third year as Baylor’s assistant coach.
