ORLANDO - The UCF women's golf team opens its spring schedule as host of the UCF Challenge presented by PDI at Eagle Creek Country Club from January 25 to 27. The partnership with Player Development Index (PDI) seeks to enhance the team performance with an emphasis on long-term program success.
The Knights consistently placed in the top five during their fall season, finishing the Illini Invitational in first place overall. With Mila Jurine earning an individual title as well as one with the team. The Black and Gold hope to bring that energy into the spring season as they look toward the Big 12 Championship.
Last year, the Knights ended the tournament tied for fourth with Mila Jurine leading the charge, going a total of seven under through the weekend and finishing in a tie for 11th. The tournament gives UCF a strong start to their spring season and a shot to thrive on their home course.
