The Tigers are heading to San Marcos, Texas, for their final tournament of the fall season.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll compete Oct. 18-19 at the Jim West Challenge hosted by Texas State University at the scenic Kissing Tree Golf Club.<\/p>\n
Play will begin at 8:30 a.m. Central time with a shotgun start. Golfers will play 36 holes on Sunday and 18 on Monday on the par-72 course.<\/p>\n
The Mizzou roster includes fifth-years Addie Dobson and Melanie Walker, junior Alexandra Berglund, sophomore Addie Surber and senior Fleur van Beek. Sophomore Grace Crawford will compete as an individual.<\/p>\n
Dobson is coming off an eighth-place finish last week at the Illini Women\u2019s Invitational where she finished seven under par.<\/p>\n
Walker and Berglund both placed in the top 20 last week, in 14th and 17th places, respectively.<\/p>\n
For most of the Mizzou roster, this tournament marks the end of a long stretch of competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been three tournaments now back-to-back, so I can see on the girls that they are a little bit more tired,\u201d head coach Caroline Westrup Gaeta said.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, the team flew on a private plane to Texas, so they had a slightly more restful travel day.<\/p>\n
The last time Mizzou competed at the Jim West Challenge was in 2022, Westrup Gaeta\u2019s first year at Mizzou.<\/p>\n
Seven of the eleven teams are returning from last year, including three golfers who placed in the top 15.<\/p>\n
Of the returning teams, TCU is one of strongest competitors. It won the 2024 tournament with a 22-under team score and placed fifth at the 2025 tournament. TCU\u2019s Kirstin Angosta took first at the 2024 Jim West Challenge, and Camille Min-Gaultier has tied for second and seventh the past two years. Both will be competing Sunday and will be a threat to a Mizzou title.<\/p>\n
