PROVO, Utah — No. 76 women’s golf is set to tee off the Big 12 Women’s Golf Championship in Dallas at the Dallas Athletic Club on April 23-25.

BYU finished eighth place in this event last year, with Kanyanol (Naji) Aramkul as the highest finisher on the team by securing 14th.

The Cougars enter playoff golf on a high note with their best team finish of the season in their most recent tournament. BYU tied for second at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic on April 8, and had four Cougars notch placements inside the top-20. 

Based on Scoreboard team rankings, the Cougars come in as the 13-seed in a field of 14 Big 12 schools. Baylor, Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Arizona State, Kansas, Houston, TCU, Colorado, Arizona, UCF, Oklahoma State and Kansas State will participate with BYU at the 6,270-yard Gold Course.

The Cougar lineup will consist of Maria Jose “MJ” Barragan, Aramkul, Lily McCauley, Whitney Banz and Ava Schroeder. Berlin Long will come out as a sub. 

BYU tees off round one in Dallas at 8:40 a.m. MDT on Monday. Live scoring of the 54-hole event can be found on Scoreboard, and the last day will be broadcast on ESPN+.
