#20 WG Staying Closer to Home for Chevron Collegiate

HUMBLE, Texas – Staying in Texas for just the second time this season, the 20^th-ranked Baylor women's golf team will compete in the Chevron Collegiate, which starts Monday at the Golf Club of Houston.

The 17-team tournament includes five top-20 teams, five others in the top 50 and the rest of the field all ranked in the top 100 by Scoreboard.

"Really happy to be part of such a great tournament down at the Golf Club of Houston," said Baylor coach Jay Goble. "It's a really cool golf course that played host to the PGA Tour Houston Open."

Baylor is coming off its seventh-consecutive top-five finish, placing second behind top-ranked Stanford in the Arizona Thunderbird Intercollegiate in Tucson. Senior Silje Ohma tied for fifth in the 80-player field at 3-under 213, her second top-five individual finish of the year and ninth of her career.

Sophomore Malena Castro had her second-straight top-15 finish, tying for 11^th at 3-over 219, while senior Bridget Boczar tied for 21^st 6-over 222.

Ohma and Boczar are at the top of this week's lineup, joined by junior transfer Yurang Li, Castro and freshman Amelia Wan.

"I'm excited for this lineup and feel that our team is trending in the right direction," Goble said.

Joining Baylor and the 32^nd-ranked Houston team are No. 3 Oregon, sixth-ranked Arkansas, No. 11 Mississippi State and No. 16 North Carolina. Rounding out the field are Iowa State, SMU, Indiana, TCU, Illinois, Texas State, North Texas, Marylan d, UL-Monroe, UNC-Wilmington and UTSA.
