Aggie Golfers Open Spring at IJGA Collegiate

GUADALAJARA, Mexico – The Texas A&M women's golf team will open the spring portion of its 2019-20 season at the IJGA Collegiate Invitational Sunday through Tuesday at the 6,437-yard, par 72 Guadalajara Country Club.
 
Coach Andrea Gaston said:
On getting into the collegiate season-- "It's always exciting to get the season started and to get the team back into competition. It's nice for our players to have a break from a long season, yet when you're in a rhythm you don't like seeing players take too much time off. Competition is the only way for us to know where we are and find out what we need to work on as the season progresses. I'm glad we are starting in Guadalajara. It's Lorena Ochoa's home course and I had the opportunity to take my team there when I was at USC. It will be a great place to start and we anticipate some warm weather!"
 
On how the fall season went for the Aggies-- "We had a great fall season with some good overall team finishes and some excellent individual performances. (Assistant coach) Kat (Bruner) and I were excited to see some terrific one-day team scores and tying some of the low-scoring records by previous Aggie teams.  That showed us that this team is capable of scoring well on a consistent basis.  I'm pleased that we are trending upward."
 
The Aggies:
Courtney Dow, Sr.-3L, Frisco, Texas
Blanca Fernández García Poggio,Fr.-HS, Madrid, Spain
Amber Park, Jr.-2L, Allen, Texas

Brooke Tyree, So.-1L, Sulphur, La.
