LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech women's basketball coaches Kristy and Kelly Curry took part in the second annual Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund 4KayTM Golf Classic presented by Nike in Greensboro, N.C., Sept. 13-14.
This year's edition was hosted at the Grandover Resort and Conference Center in Greensboro. All proceeds benefitted the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research. This year the event raised over $175,000 for women's cancers research.

The format was a four-player captain's choice, with separate tournaments on the East and West courses. Awards and Nike prize merchandise, including golf bags, putters, sunglasses and apparel were presented to each of the top three teams as well as to winners of the longest drive, closet to the pin and longest putt. The day ended with an awards luncheon.
