Round One Tee Times

Mt. Pleasant, S.C. -- The 2007 Southern Conference Women’s Golf Championship kicks off at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 15 at Patriots Point Golf Links in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

College of Charleston is the defending champion, claiming its first Southern Conference Championship at the Mill Creek Golf Club in 2006.  The Cougars edged Western Carolina by two strokes and were led by individual champion Angie Hill who recorded a tournament low 68 in the final round. 

Charleston became just the third school to capture the women’s golf title since the start of the event in 1994.

Prior to the 2006 season, Furman and Western Carolina were the lone schools to claim team titles in the history of the tournament.  In total, Furman has won 11 of the 13 team championships, while Western Carolina took top honors in 2003.

Four different schools have claimed individual medalist honors, with Furman, UNC Greensboro (Lotta Jonson, 1999), Western Carolina (Brandy Andersen, 2003) and College of Charleston (Angie Hill, 2006) all featuring individuals with the top performance at the championship. A Furman student-athlete has taken top individual accolades 10 times since the start of the event, including current Furman head coach Jen Hanna’s SoCon individual championship in 1998.

The championship continues on Monday, April 16 with tee times set for 7:30 a.m. The final round of the championship also begins at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 17.
