Florida Women’s Golf: Victorious at Home Tournament

The Number 8 Gator Women’s golf team welcomed twelve teams to the Mark Bostic Golf Course for its only home tournament of the season. The Gators compiled a three-day score of 22 over par, an 11-stroke victory in the SunTrust Gator Invitational.

Head Coach Emily Glaser said she was thoroughly impressed with the amount of fans who came out to support the Gators.

Also playing well for the Gators was junior Maria Torres, who finished tied for fifth place with a +5. Senior Ursa Orehek and sophomore Taylor Tomlinson tied for 12th place, firing +8. Orehek was Florida’s highest-placing individual, while Tomlinson and Torres earned their seventh top-25 finishes of the season.

This event marks the team’s fourth victory in the past five tournaments. The Orange and Blue will be back in action March 21-22 at the Briar’s Creek Invitational in Johns Island. Florida will be looking to defend its victory from Briar’s Creek last year. Coach Glaser looks ahead to the next meet in South Carolina.
