The Iowa State women’s golf team will begin play Monday at The Bruzzy in Gainesville, Texas, ready to bounce back from the team’s recent 12th place last Wednesday at the Silverado Showdown.

Iowa State was able to move back up in the rankings to 37th nationally despite a tough week and a 12th place finish. 

The Cyclones totaled 902 shots across the three rounds played at the Silverado Showdown.

In the Silverado Showdown, Liyana Durisic finished tied for 33rd, Taglao Jeeravivitaporn tied for 22nd, Ruby Chou and Charley Jacobs tied for 49th and Warda Rawof tied for 70th.

Fourteen teams will compete at The Bruzzy, with four of the teams ranked in the top-25. No. 7 Oklahoma St., No. 13 Texas, No. 17 Baylor and No. 21 Texas Tech.

Kansas State will be the only team at the tournament not ranked in the top-100.  

Monday will mark just the third time the Cyclones have been a part of this tournament. Iowa State last played at The Bruzzy in 2018 and 2021.
