LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following nine regular season tournaments, the Louisville women's golf team will begin play at the ACC Women's Golf Championship on Thursday. The three-day tournament will be played at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
With inclement weather in the forecast for Friday, the championship will features 36 holes of play on Thursday with the final round set for Saturday.
Louisville is seeded eighth for the conference championship with seeding based on the latest Golfstat rankings. The Cardinals are ranked 42nd overall, with 10 of the ACC's 12 teams ranked inside the top 50. Duke is the league's highest-ranked team at No. 3 in the listing, followed by Wake Forest (8), Florida State (12), Virginia (17), Miami (19) and Clemson (28).
UofL will be paired up with North Carolina and North Carolina State for the first and second rounds, with a shotgun start set for 8:30 a.m., ET. Select portions of tournament play will be carried live on ACC Network Extra, with Roy Philpott and Donna Andrews on the call. Live scoring is available at Golfstat.com.
The Cardinals have competed in the ACC Championship four times since joining the league. Louisville has finished seventh overall in all four seasons.
Lauren Hartlage, Delaney Shah, Mairead Martin, Margot Bechadergue and Olivia Cason will make up Louisville's lineup. Cason and Hartlage will each be competing in their third ACC Championship, with Shah playing in her second. It will be the first conference tournament experience for Bechadergue and Martin.
Cason owns the best finish of any Louisville women's golfer at the ACC Championship, tying for fourth place overall in 2017. It still stands as the third-best conference tournament finish in program history. The senior finished in 30th place last season.
Hartlage ranks top 10 this season in scoring average in the conference, holding four top-10s with a win at the Moon Golf Invitational and a runner-up showing at the Alexa Stirling Intercollegiate. In her two previous conference championships, Hartlage took 30th and 39th place.
Shah finished in 40th place in 2018 in her lone ACC Championship experience, and enters the 2019 tournament off a strong showing last week at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic. In the lone round of stroke play, the junior shot even par and was sixth overall.
Bechadergue and Martin have both had good seasons for the Cardinals as well. Bechadergue turned in the best finish of her two-year career at the Evans Derby Experience March 23-25, tying for 12th overall at 3-over par. Martin is second on the team in stroke average and owns a pair of top-10 finishes.
As a team, the Cardinals have four top-three tallies this season with a win at the Alexa Stirling Intercollegiate in October.
