MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee women's golf is back on the course this week at the Jackrabbit Invitational, hosted by South Dakota State at Boulder Creek Golf Course in Boulder City, Nev., a suburb of Las Vegas. The tournament starts with 36 holes on Monday and wraps up with the third round on Tuesday.
The field features representatives from 15 teams. The Blue Raiders are the highest-ranked team in the field at No. 101 in the latest Golfstat rankings.
WEATHER FORECAST
The forecast for Boulder City over the weekend calls for highs in the 70s and no rain both days, with clear skies Monday and some cloud cover on Tuesday.
NOTES
"We're looking forward to playing in Nevada and fortunate that host South Dakota state let us in late, due to a schedule change since our tournament in Mexico was canceled. The weather is great, and we'll see a few common opponents and definitely some teams we don't see very often."
