STATESBORO, Ga. – It has been 348 days since the Marshall women's golf team competed in an event, and the Thundering Herd will finally get its chance at the Strutter Gus Invitational, Feb. 21-22. The event is hosted by Georgia Southern.
Tournament Details
Course: Georgia Southern University Course – Par 72 – 6,111 yards
Live Scoring: GOLFSTAT
Participants: Marshall, Georgia Southern, Illinois State (No. 44), UNC Greensboro, Winthrop, High Point, Seminole State, Gardner-Webb, Appalachian State, Georgia State and Murray State
Tee Times and Format: Shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. with continuous play on Sunday for two rounds (36 holes), and a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. on Monday for one final round (18 holes).
Marshall's last competition was the River Landing Classic back on March 9-10, 2020. The final three tournaments of the season, including the Conference USA Championships were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Herd did not compete in the fall of 2020 as Marshall, as well as Conference USA, opted to move all fall sports, other than football, to the spring of 2021.
Head coach Brooke Burkhammer returns an experienced squad with six returners and one newcomer. The returners for Marshall are seniors Stormy Randazzo and Kerri Parks, juniors Jackie Schmidt and Torren Kalaskey, and sophomores Makena Rauch and Peyton Schaffer. The sole newcomer is freshman Hanna Shrout.
Randazzo was the only player for Marshall who competed in all seven events in the 2019-20 season. She averaged 75.90 strokes per round. Parks led the team with 74.50 strokes per round and missed just one tournament. The Flushing, Mich., native's top finish of tied for fourth was at the Golfweek Program Challenge (Sept. 8-10). Schaffer competed in six events, Schmidt played in five, Kalaskey at three and Rauch at two.
Competing in the first tournament of the season for Marshall will be Parks, Randazzo, Schaffer, Kalaskey and Rauch.
The remainder of the women's golf schedule for the 2021 spring season is the River Landing Classic (March 8-9), UAB Spring Invite (March 15-16), Chattanooga Classic (March 29-30), a match with WKU (April 5), the Murray State Invite (April 9-10) and the Conference USA Championships (April 19-21).
