Tournament Details:
LADY BUCKEYE SPRING INVITATIONAL
Host: Ohio State University
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Course: Ohio State Golf Club (Scarlet Course)
Course Vitals: Par-72, 6,319 yards
Format: Play Six, Count Four
Dates: April 13-14, 2019, Three Rounds
The Course:
In 1941, Ohio State made history when it hosted the first ever women's collegiate golf championship on the Scarlet course. In 1982, Ohio State hosted the final Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division I National Championship. In 1991, Ohio State hosted the NCAA Women's Championship, commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the national tournament for women on the course on which it was conceived. The women's program later went on to host the 1997 and 2006 tournaments as well. The Scarlet Course has also played host to 10 men's National Championships. Over the years the Ohio State Scarlet course has been the site of several U.S. Open qualifiers, U.S. Amateur qualifiers and the 1977 USGA Junior Championship.
In 2005 and 2006 the Scarlet Course underwent a major restoration project overseen by former Buckeye legend Jack Nicklaus. Jack concentrated on restoring the course to the way Alister MacKenzie originally intended it to play. The bunkers were redesigned to appear more like the classic MacKenzie designs at his numerous other courses. The course was also lengthened to play more than 7,400 yards and the par was changed to 71. The driving range was also enlarged and a short-game practice area was built for both of the varsity golf teams as well as another one for the members of the club.
The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Ohio State, the strong field was comprised of 10 other teams including: Illinois, Indianapolis, Kent State, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rutgers and Toledo.
Up Next:
Seton Hall will complete the spring season next weekend with the 2019 BIG EAST Championship, April 19-21, at Callawassie Island Golf Club.
