CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The No. 20-ranked University of Miami golf team will begin competition Thursday at the 31st Annual ACC Women’s Golf Championship in Greensboro, N.C.
Seeded fifth, the Hurricanes will open the three-day event at 9 a.m. at the 6,089-yard, par 72 championship course at Sedgefield Country Club, paired up with fourth-seeded Virginia and sixth-seeded Clemson. Live stats for the tournament will be accessible HERE. Tournament play will be carried live on ACC Network Extra beginning at 2 p.m. Friday and 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
A quintet of Hurricanes—graduate student Claudia De Antonio, juniors Macarena Aguilera and Renate Grimstad, sophomore Kristyna Frydlova and freshman Anna Backman—are set to compete.
