Wofford's Ridgeway caddies at U.S. Open

Angie Ridgeway, Wofford's associate director of golf, served as the caddie for LPGA player Eva Dahloff this past weekend at the 60th U.S. Women's Open at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, Colo.

Dahloff made the cut and finished the tournament in a six-way tie for 52nd place. She carded a 19-over-par 303 (78-72-76-77) on the 6,749-yard course. The yardage was the longest in U.S. Women's Open history.

A native of Sweden and a member of the Swedish National Team from 1981-88, Dahloff currently resides in Greenville, S.C. Her highest year-end ranking was at No. 52 following the 1999 campaign in which she tallied four top-10 results and matched her career-best finish of a sixth-place tie at three tournaments. She played collegiately at Oklahoma State.

Ridgeway, who recently completed her first year with the Terriers, guided the Wofford women's team to the first two tournament championships in program history during 2004-05. The Terriers captured the team titles at the Coca-Cola C2-Wofford Autumn Invitational (Oct. 11-12, 2004) and Draper Valley Spring Invitational (April 4-5, 2005).

A former LPGA Tour player herself, Ridgeway competed in over 200 events and participated in six U.S. Women's Opens. She placed fifth at the 1997 Welch's Championship for her career-best finish.
