COACH'S CORNER
"The Windy City Collegiate is always a good learning opportunity for us," Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye remarked. "Playing in colder weather and a different environment will pay off in the long run for us. I am excited that we can get experience for all six of our golfers."
THE COMPETITION (GOLFWEEK RANKINGS)
Arizona State finds themselves facing an extremely competitive field for the third straight tournament to open the 2023-24 season. The Windy City Collegiate Classic features nine of the Top-25 teams in Golfweek/Sagarin's latest rankings, including the Sun Devils at No. 18. The two programs who faced off for the 2023 NCAA Women's Golf Championship, USC and Wake Forest, are also in the field. Perineal powers Oregon, Auburn, Texas, UCLA, and Duke highlight the list of teams vying for what would be a major Fall tournament win. Several returning All-Americans will be competing for the individual crown, including Arizona State's own Ashley Menne.
THE FORMAT
For the second time this season, Arizona State will complete 36 holes in one day. In similar fashion to the McGuire Invitational, the first two rounds will take place on Monday, Oct. 2, with the final round held on Tuesday, Oct. 3. On Monday, players begin their initial round in the morning at 5:30 AM AZT. Upon completion of the first 18, they immediately start their second round, with an estimated start time of 9:45 AM AZT. An individual and team champion will be crowned on Tuesday afternoon following the third round.
THE LINEUP
Arizona State boasts one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the country, making qualifying for the lineup extremely difficult. All six Sun Devils will travel to Illinois, a chance to gain more valuable experience early in the season. Paula Schulz-Hanssen continues her hot start to the season with an outstanding qualifying run, earning the top spot in the lineup. Fellow sophomore Beth Coulter will occupy the second slot. An indication of ASU's depth, first team Pac-12 All-Conference selection Grace Summerhays qualified third, with fellow first team member Ashley Menne starting from the fourth position. Redshirt freshman Patience Rhodes gets her third straight nod in the lineup and will golf out of the No. 5 slot. Junior Calynne Rosholt will have a chance to compete for Windy City Collegiate Classic medalist honors, representing ASU as an individual.
TEE TIMES
Arizona State will begin the first round of the Windy City Collegiate Classic Monday morning at 5:30 AM MST, with five of the six Sun Devils starting their round every nine minutes on hole one. Due to her status as an individual, Calynne Rosholt will tee-off on Hole 10 at 6:24 AM MST. ASU is paired with Georgia and Duke.
THE COURSE
Glen View Club is located just 15 miles from the heart of downtown Chicago in the historic Village of Golf. Established in 1897, Glen View Club is one of the oldest clubs in the Chicago area and has one of the country's earliest 18 hole golf courses. Glen View Club has been the proud host to the US Amateur (1902), the US Open (1904), five Western Opens and more recently, three National Platform Tennis Championships.
HISTORY AT WINDY CITY COLLEGIATE
Arizona State will be back in a familiar spot when they return to the Windy City Collegiate, competing in the tournament in four of the past six years. Golfers will complete 36 holes on the first day of action before wrapping up the event with the final 18 holes the following day. This will be the fifth appearance for the Sun Devils at the Windy City Collegiate Championship, first competing in the event in 2015.
In 2019, Arizona State finished in fourth place as a team lead by Top-10 finishes from Linn Grant (6th) and Alessandra Fanali (10th). In 2018, Raquel Olmos earned a career-best finish at this event, as she posted a 207 (-9) which was good enough for second place. Her second round score of 66 was a career-low, with her first collegiate hole-in-one coming on the 13th hole. The Sun Devils finished in second as a team thanks to Olmos' effort. During the 2017 edition, Olivia Mehaffey matched her career-low (65) in the first-round. Arizona State took home the team championship that year, with Linnea Strom and Olivia Mehafffey earning Top-10 finishes. The program has fond memories of the Windy City area, having won the 2017 National Championship in nearby Sugar Grove, Illinois.
LAST TIME OUT
Arizona State (-13/851) finished in fourth place as a team after posting a 285 (-3), moving two spots up the leaderboard on the final day of the Mason Rudolph Invitational in September. The Maroon & Gold were the top finishing non-SEC team at the tournament played in the footprint of the league, as Coach Farr-Kaye's team proved to be able to handle the change in geography. The Mason Rudolph Invitational featured 11 teams ranked inside GOLF Channel's preseason Top-35 and ASU beat out seven of them this weekend.
The Sun Devils were led by sophomore Paula Schulz-Hanssen, who was fantastic on her way to a Top-5 finish. She completed the Mason Rudolph Invitational at 209 (-7), capping the event with a 69 (-3) to move into a tie for fifth. She was joined by Beth Coulter (T16th) and Grace Summerhays (T20th) in the Top-20 of a loaded individual field.
2023-24 CAMPAIGN
Arizona State will be tested throughout 2023-24 as Coach Farr-Kaye built one of the nation's toughest slates once again. The Maroon and Gold will compete in a total of nine regular season events, four in the Fall and five in the Spring. The postseason begins April 21 at the Pac-12 Championship, with NCAA Regionals and NCAA Championships scheduled for the month of May.
