PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. – The spring semester gets into full swing for Baylor women's golf a day earlier than initially planned as they will now open T. Hession Regional Challenge on Saturday, instead of Sunday, at Palos Verdes Golf Club.
Â
With rain and high winds expected for much of the next three days, the 54-hole stroke-play event has been changed to match play and will begin with 36 holes of play on Saturday at 9:45 a.m. CT.
Â
The 16-team field has been broken down into eight matches beginning Saturday. The No. 15 seeded Bears will face the No. 2 seeded UCLA Bruins, whom they saw just a few weeks ago at the Match in the Desert. The winner of BU's match with UCLA would take on the winner of No. 10 seed Florida and No. 7 seed Pepperdine.
Â
Rosie Belsham is coming off a tie for sixth at the Match in the Desert last month and will play at the No. 1 spot. The senior played well in Palos Verdes a season ago, notching a tie for fifth.
Â
Ohma also finished in the top-5 a season ago, tied for second, and she hopes to kick-start her semester with a good showing in the Southern California hills.
Â
Sera Hasegawa will make her first start of the spring at the No. 3 spot. Hasegawa missed the Match in the Desert with an illness but tied for 11th in her last start at the Rainbow Wahine Invitational, her best finish of the season.
Â
Yoonjeong Huh will play at No. 4 this week. The freshman carded the best finish of her young career, tying for sixth in her last start of the fall at the Rainbow Wahine.
Â
Ashleen Kaur, fresh off a tie for sixth at the Match in the Desert, will play at the No. 5 spot. The freshman currently leads the team in par-5 scoring average (4.81).
Â
Stats and live scoring from the matches will be available at Golfstat.com.
