Badgers ready for
Big Ten championship
Consistent performances set tone for season
BY TESSA RUID @BADGERWGOLF
C
oach Todd Oehrlein is
looking to continue the
team's consistent scor-
ing as his Badgers approach
the Big Ten Championships
April 25-27 on the Pete Dye
Course in French Lick, Ind.
This will be the first time the
women have played the Pete
Dye Course. After two years
on the Donald Ross Course in
French Lick. UW finished sixth
in the 54-hole event last year
and hopes to improve on that
next week.
The Badgers have had eight
top-10 finishes in nine events
this year, including one win
and three third-place finishes.
That consistency will be key
in the conference meet, which
determines the automatic
qualifier for the NCAA region-
als May 8-10.
