The Jax State women’s golf team is set to compete in the Conference USA Championship beginning Monday at Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco, Texas. The tournament consists of 54 holes spread over three days, with play on the challenging Fazio Course, averaging at least 6300 yards each day. In their last tournament, the Gamecocks secured a fifth-place finish at the Golfweek/Stifel Spring Challenge, with standout performances from Rachel Camp, who achieved her best round of the season. The team has shown improvement in later rounds, averaging 306 in the first but dropping to 297 in the second and third rounds, including a tournament-best third round score of 292. Last year's championship saw the Gamecocks starting strong, but ultimately losing the lead to Western Kentucky.

By the Numbers
  • The championship features 54 holes over three days on a course measuring at least 6300 yards daily.
  • In the Golfweek/Stifel Spring Challenge, Rachel Camp recorded eight birdies and finished in seventh place.
  • The Gamecocks' average scores: 306 in the first round, 297 in second and third rounds this season.
  • Last year's championship saw the Gamecocks post a one-under team score to start but finish six shots behind the winner.
Yes, But

While the Gamecocks have improved in their later rounds, the challenge remains in consistently performing well under pressure in the championship format, especially against strong competitors like Western Kentucky.

State of Play
  • The Gamecocks will begin play in the second wave of tee times paired with Sam Houston at 9:20 a.m. Central Time.
  • Rachel Camp leads the team as a redshirt sophomore, alongside freshmen Lara El Chaib and Rebekka Stutley.
What's Next

The championship will unfold over three days, and the team will look to leverage their improved second and third-round performances to secure a potentially better finish than last year.

Bottom Line

The Jax State women's golf team is poised for a significant challenge in the Conference USA Championship, but their recent improvements and past performances offer optimism for a strong showing.
