Women's golf continues spring slate at Valspar Augusta Invitational
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech women's golf team will compete in the 2019 Valspar Augusta Invitational in Georgia.

Â
The Red Raiders are coming off a second place finish less than a week ago at the BYU Invitational in Utah. Tech was led by sophomore Sofia Garcia, who shot a program record 64 in the final round of play and finished in a tie for second. Her performance was also the lowest round by a NCAA golfer this year.

THE FIELD
The Red Raiders will begin play this week at No. 41 in the latest Golfstat poll, marking Tech as the second-highest ranked school in the 12-team field, which also includes No. 33 Purdue. Other competitors include host Augusta, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, East Tennessee State, South Florida, Memphis, Toledo, Central Arkansas, Princeton and Daytona State.
Â
THE COURSE
Forest Hills Golf Club will play at 6,248 yards in its par 72 layout. It is the home course for Augusta's men's and women's golf programs.
Â
THE FORMAT
The Valspar Augusta Invitational will follow a traditional 54-hole format. Rounds one and two are set to be play on Saturday, while the third and final round will be played on Sunday.
