SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. — The Louisville women's golf team is back home and set to host the Cardinal Cup at the University of Louisville Golf Course (Par 72 - 6374 yards) this weekend. It is the first time the Cardinals have hosted this event since the fall of 2019.
This will be the 17th Cardinal Cup and Louisville has won the tournament nine times in the tournament's history. The Cardinals will be one of 15 teams competing at the tournament this weekend that starts on Friday and runs through Sunday.
The Cardinals are coming off their first tournament of the fall this past weekend at the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational down the road in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The Cardinals finished fourth overall out of a field of 11 and had four golfers finish in the Top-20.

Her best round came in the opening round when she shot a 1-under-par 71, tying for the lowest 18-hole score for the Cards in the tournament.
