Heading into its third tournament of the season, the UF women’s golf team is hoping this is the week they break out.

While some things remain constant, a level of uncertainty surrounds the UF men’s golf team as it travels to Chicago today to play in the season-opening Olympia Fields Invitational hosted by the University of Illinois.

The No. 19 Florida women’s golf team travels to Hanahan, S.C., on Sunday to take part in the Cougar Classic hosted by College of Charleston at the par-72, 6,210 yard Yeamans Hall Golf Club.

A school from Florida is atop the NCAA Championship leaderboard – but it isn’t the Gators.
Last week at NCAA Regionals, Florida played well enough to finish in third place and qualify for the NCAA Championships on June 2.
The Gators enjoyed the luck of the Irish in South Bend, Ind., at the Central Regional this past weekend, and finished high enough to earn a bid for the NCAA Championships.
The Florida men’s golf team finished the NCAA Central Regional in third place (279-280-279, 838, -2) on Saturday, and will advance to the NCAA Championships.
