The fall campaign has been successful for the Gators.
It was a forgettable Final Round for both the Gators men’s and women’s golf teams.
A week after the men came and left Chicago without much fanfare, the women’s squad currently sits in a prime position to leave the Windy City with its second victory on the year.
For the fourth time in as many years, the Gators made the cross-country trek to Portland, Oregon, for the 54-hole Nike Collegiate Invitational.
The Gators were never supposed to seriously contend this weekend.
After a mildly disappointing start to the season a few weeks ago, the Gators men’s golf team will strive to build some much-needed momentum this weekend at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational in Chicago.
It wasn’t the trailblazing, birdie-filled golf that was good enough for third place in last week’s season-opener, but the Gators women’s golf team still managed to capture its first win of the season at the Glass City Invitational.
A third-place finish in the season opener for the Gators women’s golf team does not give last week’s performance sufficient justice.
Severe weather pummeling the Carolinas has seemingly affected everyone but the Gators women’s golf team.
Florida is a team rich with history and annual national championship expectations. Given such lofty standards, this weekend proved rather disappointing for the Gators men’s golf team.
Last season, then-junior Sierra Brooks torched the rest of the field on her way to a seven-stroke individual victory at the Cougar Classic. Rounds of 65 and 62 – the latter setting a course record – also led Florida to a team victory in its annual season opener in South Carolina.
Sam Riffice looked like he had been there before.
Sierra Brooks waited anxiously in the clubhouse after finishing the stroke play portion of the NCAA Championships in a tie for first with Arkansas’ Maria Fassi.
Sierra Brooks pumped her fist and followed her ball as it maneuvered slightly from left to right and into the hole. The 15-foot putt on the ninth green put the junior at 4 under for the competition and in the outright lead for the NCAA individual title heading into the final day of the NCAA Championships.
Sophomores John Axelsen and Chris Nido headlined a solid start to the first round of the NCAA Regional Tournament for the Florida men’s golf team.
Florida women's golf coach Emily Glaser had brought her team to the NCAA Championships five times before this week.
The Florida men’s golf team had a very forgettable SEC Tournament.
The Florida men’s golf team has come within a match of winning the SEC Championships for two consecutive years.
Marta Perez was in a difficult situation.
