2017
SEASON PREVIEW The LSU Lady Tigers have worked hard for a chance to get back to the ultimate goal – the NCAA Championships. LSU was unable to capitalize on a host spot in the NCAA regional tournament held at the University Club with their No. 1 All-American player out early in the year with a wrist injury that would require surgery. But that player has returned and Coach Karen Bahnsen put the emphasis on the schedule in the spring with five events that will hopefully have the team peaking at the proper time entering the post-season portion of the year. There will be a lot of golf, but a lot of important events that LSU and some of the nation’s top teams will take part in.
in the Kauth Invitational was solid with rounds of 75-74-73. She finished the fall with a stroke average of 72.17. Sophomore Kathleen Gallagher averaged 74.00 with good second and third rounds in all three events. The Mississippi native closed the tournaments with rounds of 72-71, 74-73 and 71-72. She posted +4 220 (77-71-72) in the Kauth Invitational and should be ready for a strong spring performance. Claudia De Antonio (75.56) and Sydney Cavin (76.11) were the only other golfers besides Gallagher to play all nine rounds as the Lady Tigers looked for the players that can consistently help the team at the bottom of the lineup.
FALL 2016 UPDATE LSU took part in three tournaments during the fall portion of the season, with one normal fall event now scheduled as a spring event. LSU’s best finish came in the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman, Oklahoma, as LSU finished sixth in the 12-team field with a three-round total of 19-over par 871. The return of Caroline Nistrup was noticeable in the two events she played in with rounds of 69-70-72 for a 2-under 211 in the Schooner Fall Classic that was good enough for a T10 finish. The finish number wasn’t as high but her performance
RETURNING GOLFERS LSU in the spring of 2017 will have a trio of seniors – Caroline Nistrup, Lana Hodge and Carly Goldstein. Of course, it has been great for the coaching staff to see what Nistrup did in her two fall starts and they look for her to continue to be better once in a rhythm of the five events. Nistrup in her last full season not only earned her second All-SEC first team citation, but 2015 saw her finish T12 in the NCAA Championships, earning first-team All-America honors. She is on pace to have one of the lowest career stroke
averages in school history and stands at 72.91 for 75 rounds after her six rounds in the fall and coming off a 2015 season in which she averaged 72.41. Hodge only made two tournament appearances after transferring in last year, but has posted an almost four-shot improvement in her two tournaments she played in this fall. She posted important counting rounds in both of the team’s last two events and will be counted on again for some rounds to help the team scoring in the spring. The potential for important counting rounds is what Goldstein can and has brought to the table in her LSU career. She did not play in the fall but will be one of those in the mix for a qualifying spot in the lengthy spring season. Junior Sydney Cavin of Baton Rouge became a champion in her sophomore season as she was able to battle through the rainy elements in the final round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate in Feb. 2016 to score the individual title with a score of 5-under 211 (69-73-69) over the difficult English Turn layout. Cavin had some solid rounds in the fall and will be a factor in the spring lineup. Claudia De Antonio, another junior had injury issues that limited her on-course activity in 2015-16 but played all nine rounds in the fall.

Season Preview
She posted six rounds of 75 or less. She posted rounds of 75-73-74 and a 6-over 222 in the Kauth Invitational to end the fall. Sophomore Kathleen Gallagher came to LSU with the pressure of being the first daughter of a former Tiger (Cissye Meeks) and the daughter of a well-known multi-PGA Tour winner and television analyst Jim Gallagher, Jr. She proved with many of her starts in her freshman year, especially after the Nistrup injury, that she was more than capable of posting consistent scores for the Lady Tigers. Gallagher averaged 74.73 for her 30 rounds, topped by a 69 at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate and a 3-over 219 (72-74-73) at the Tar Heel Invitational (T11) and 3-over 219 (72-73-74) at the Silverado Showdown when she was T10. The Mississippi native had a total of 17 rounds of 75 or less last year and has only one round higher than 73 in the second and third round of each of her three fall tournaments. Marina Hedlund is the other sophomore on the team who played in 21 rounds a year ago with a 78.33 average. She posted 5-over 221 (76-71-74)
in the Mason Rudolph event and 72-74-77 (+7, 223) in the Silverado Showdown as the native of Sweden was able to contribute counting scores for the team. NEWCOMER Monica Dibildox comes to LSU from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico after a distinguished pre-college amateur career. She qualified for the last two U.S. Women’s Amateur event and has reached match play in the U.S. Girl’s Juniors. She has been one of the top five players in her home country every year since 2012. Dibildox played in two fall events for the Lady Tigers with her best showing a 7-over 220 in the Schooner Fall Classic with rounds of 73-72-75. There is a lot of room for her to grow and be a part of this expanded five-tournament schedule. SPEAKING OF SCHEDULE The Lady Tigers will return to some events they have participated in the past with three traditional tournaments in the middle.

Highlighting the spring is of course the annual LSU Tiger Golf Classic at the University Club in Baton Rouge. The event will return to a FridaySunday schedule in 2017 with March 24-26 the playing dates. Defending champion Duke will be back as will Arkansas as both look for their fourth LSU Tiger Golf Classic, looking to tie Florida State for the second most wins by a team in the event. LSU will return to Puerto Rico for the Lady Puerto Rico Classic to open the season before the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans at English Turn. Both of those tournaments are in February before LSU opens March at the Darius Rucker event in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The Tigers will conclude their regular season in Tempe, at the PING/ASU Invitational before the annual SEC Championships in April in Birmingham. The NCAA Regionals will be hosted this year by Georgia, Ohio State, Texas Tech and New Mexico with the championship at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois.

BAHNSEN HEAD COACH • 33RD SEASON If it seems like Karen Bahnsen has been a part of the LSU golf program all her life, you wouldn’t be exactly wrong. No she wasn’t putting on the LSU campus course as a youngster, but since 1980 she has been one of the leads in shaping the history of the women’s golf program on this campus. She was the first recruit of the fledging program prior to the 1979-80 season and helped mold the team that would become the first to tee it up for LSU women’s golf. She graduated from LSU in 1984 and subsequently was named the women’s head coach prior to the 1984-85 season. In her second year, she had the number one player in the country, five team titles and a top 10 NCAA Championship finish. The program has marched forward from there. Entering her 33rd season, the coach who has seen it all when it comes to women’s golf at LSU still has the passion and anticipation of what another important spring season will hold. Bahnsen knows another opportunity waits on the national golf scene, a place where LSU regularly has a place at the table of top teams. Bahnsen is in many ways a historian for the sport of college golf, especially at LSU and the
Southeastern Conference. She has seen the sport improve in so many ways with better equipment, better scores and better players. She has now seen the sport she loves advance into the television age as the Golf Channel documents the women’s final and its exciting match play championships. The dean of SEC coaches and a Women’s Golf Coaches Association Hall of Famer continues to get the job done for her program and her University each and every year. She is driven to succeed and has the beliefs and values that reach her players and gives them the chance to be successful as well. Over the course of 32 successful years as head coach, it’s not just wins and losses that matter. It is grade point average as well as greens in regulation. It is graduation day as well as tournament championships. It’s the big picture of preparing for the future whether that is as a business woman, a woman raising a family and if the chance to play professionally arises, then the LSU Lady Tigers are prepared for that as well. As the program enters its 38th season, it’s easy to see how far this program has come – from visiting the campus book store to get matching
shirts for the first tournament and getting in a van to travel to back-to-back third place team finishes in the NCAA Championships and charter planes to certain tournament sites. Since she took over Bahnsen has contributed her share of great stars in her years as head coach: JENNY LIDBACK – the nation’s No. 1 player in 1986, who won seven tournaments in one season. She went on to win an LPGA Major and is the first women’s golfer in the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame. JACKIE GALLAGHER-SMITH – played for LSU in the 1980s that produced a long and steady career on the LPGA Tour, including an LPGA victory. THREE AMIGAS – Ashley Winn, Michelle Louviere, Laura Moore – 1995-98, led LSU to a succession of NCAA appearances (including a fifth place finish in 1998), a No. 1 ranking and nine tournament titles. KATY WILKINSON HARRIS – Had All-American bookend performances in her freshman and senior years and came out of retirement to win

It was 2011 and 2012 that the Lady Tigers brought home third place hardware from the NCAA team championships. The Tigers have
6
advanced to that championship round 13 times, 12 under Coach Bahnsen. LSU has qualified for NCAA regional play in all but two years since the format started in 1993. Now in 2016-17, after a 2015-16 season that saw its number one player, All-American Caroline Nistrup, sidelined by wrist problems, the Lady Tigers have a solid group of players that are trying to blend together to advance again to NCAA play. To Coach Bahnsen, it seems like only yesterday when Buddy Alexander, who was handling both the men’s and women’s golf teams at LSU, elected to hand her the keys to the LSU women’s golf program prior to the 1984-85 season. The enthusiasm and competitive spirit that Bahnsen showed people like Alexander as a player is the same enthusiasm and competitive spirit that is evident as a coach. She has had the drive, the determination and the willingness to succeed ever since those playing days. Bahnsen knows what it takes to get to the pinnacle of women’s collegiate golf – the NCAA Women’s Championship Tournament. She will ask her team to work hard and respond to the challenge, but it would be nothing less than she ever asked of herself as a player. Now the message is being spread farther thanks to those who have worked and played for her. Former assistant Golda Borst continues to have success at Kentucky. Marci Kornegay served a long tenure as head coach at South Florida. Ashley (Winn) Tonore, who played for Bahnsen in 1995-98, served for several years as the Director of Golf and head women’s coach at ULM. Former player Alexis Rather has also joined the coaching fraternity in her seventh year as an assistant and
2016-17 WOMEN’S GOLF MEDIA GUIDE
her fifth at LSU. Over the years Bahnsen has come up with a simple philosophy that she started using as a player. It’s so simple, but so amazingly effective when put into play. She wants her team to play each shot as a separate event. If something bad happens, forget it and move on. Don’t let it carry on for four or five holes. Most of all have fun. Bahnsen’s love and desire for a program she has devoted over half her life to is what also gives her a smiling satisfaction about a program she has virtually helped design from scratch. She is more energized than ever to make the program a continuing contender in the national spotlight. How many programs are there in any sports in Division I intercollegiate athletics where the program’s first recruit goes on to become the head coach of the program and stays long enough to not only be the dean of league coaches in the sport, but also one of the longest tenured coaches in school history? She is one of the most respected individuals in the game today, not just in the SEC but all college golf circles. The numbers easily show her success: 23 All-Americans 48 All-SEC 39 Team Tournament Titles 43 Individual Tournament Titles 11 Top 3 Finishes in the SEC Championships 22 appearances in the NCAA Regionals 12 appearances in the NCAA Championships 7 top 10 finishes in the NCAA Championships (2 thirds)
TIGERS How about some off-the-course numbers: 103 SEC Academic Honor Roll Selections 33 W omen’s Golf Coaches Association Academic Scholars In 2010, Bahnsen’s golf team was recognized as just one of three teams at LSU to earn an NCAA Public Recognition Award for exceptional work in this classroom. The awards are given annually to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their Academic Progress Rate (APR). She knows that nothing on the LPGA or the Symetra tours is guaranteed for any golfer. She knows what it is like to have a husband, a family
and the need to divide time between the coaching job and the family time. Her values on balancing both are what makes her a special person and a coach that players want to play for. Every year has brought new challenges and every time Bahnsen has answered that call. Every year, the desire to succeed is that much greater and that is what seems to continue to light the fire of the lady who knows LSU golf inside and outside, backwards and forwards. Bahnsen came to LSU with credentials that were excellent, lettering in golf at McGill-Toolen High School in Mobile, Ala. She led the school to two state titles and in 1979 won the state

ALEXIS
RATHER ASSISTANT COACH • 7TH SEASON
No matter where in the world she might be representing LSU as assistant coach, whether recruiting or working on the practice plan, Alexis Rather has a work ethic focused on one thing -- making the LSU women’s golf team better. That has made her an invaluable assistant to Coach Karen Bahnsen as she enters her seventh year on the LSU staff. She doesn’t quite walk and talk like her mentor just yet, but Rather has proven to be the perfect combination to work with Bahnsen. Its their shared beliefs in the same goals and aspirations that keep LSU women’s golf in the national spotlight year-after-year. The pair put together a class of golfers that finished third in the NCAA championships both in 2011 and 2012 and continues to search and find some of the world’s top recruits to come to Baton Rouge. She was part of the staff that brought in and helped Madelene Sagstrom earn SEC Player of the Year in 2015 and then become the Symetra Tour POY in 2016. This season’s team welcomes back sophomore first-team All-America Caroline Nistrup who finished T12 in the 2015 NCAA Championships before injuring her wrist a season ago. Rather in just a short time has become a consummate recruiter and on-course coach. She knows the advice to give and the proper times to give it. She knows when to press and when to back off. With Bahnsen, it’s a coaching staff in sync in recruiting talent and developing it to be the best it can be. She is an LSU program veteran and, like her mentor, she knows the history of the team and what is necessary to get teams through delicate moments in important rounds because she has lived it. The former LSU golfer served two years as an assistant coach at Ole Miss before beginning her tenure at LSU. The native of Tupelo, Miss., was a four-year letter winner at LSU, appeared in two NCAA Women’s Golf Championships as a player and was a four-time Women’s Golf Coaches Association scholar-athlete. Rather, a twotime First-Team All-Louisiana golfer, had three top 10 finishes in her 2008 senior season. That year, she also chipped in for the only birdie in a sudden death

playoff for the eighth and final qualifying spot at the NCAA East Regional that got LSU to the NCAA Women’s Championships. LSU finished in 15th place in the NCAA Championships that season. Over the course of her career, Rather played in all but three tournaments. She posted three top 10s and six top 20 performances and her 128 career rounds played is among the most rounds played in a career by an LSU women’s golfer. She averaged 78.84 strokes during her four-year career. She was also a four-time member of the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll. At Ole Miss, she showed the type of coach she would be, helping guide the Rebels back to postseason play and win a tournament for the first time since 2004 as the women’s golf team earned the Chancellor’s Cup for the women’s varsity team at Ole Miss with the highest grade point average. Since returning to LSU, she has helped the program with practice routines, helped put together the annual LSU Tiger Golf Classic and been on the course for tournaments both at home and on the road. With Rather around, there is another important voice for LSU traveling the world recruiting. During tournaments, Rather can be seen at various spots on the course, offering help and encouragement to the Lady Tigers when needed. Rather was named LSU’s recipient on the SEC Community Service Team while in college and has been heavily involved her entire LSU career with the school’s Life Skills Program and service projects throughout the community. She graduated from LSU in July 2007 with an honors degree in communications and her master’s in sports management from LSU in 2008.

NCAA Regional Tournament
Baton Rouge, Louisiana – May 5-7, 2016 The University Club – Par 72 LSU hosted the NCAA Baton Rouge regional at the University Club sending six teams to the NCAA Championship tournament. In an unusual twist, South Carolina and Florida tied for first after each team on back-to-back day set the single round record for the post-renovation layout of the U-Club at 11-under par 277. The teams both finished at 7-under 857, 23 shots better than the postrenovation 54-hole women’s collegiate record of 880 set in 2012 by Tennessee in the LSU Golf Classic. Washington, Duke, Oregon and BYU were the advancing teams. LSU finished 11th, 21 shots off the team advancement number. But senior Elise Bradley played her best golf of the year in her final event at home posting 3-under 213 (72-72-69), tying for fourth. That made her one of two golfers not on the six advancing teams that advanced to the championships in Eugene. Bradley would not make the three-round cut at the Eugene Country Club shooting 72-75-79 to finish 85th.

HISTORY
CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Southeastern Conference has continuted to show its leadership in the intergration of athletic competition and higher education. Since its formation in 1933, the SEC has achieved both stature and stability by designating governing/voting power to the presidents of the member institutions. They have determined the policies of the conference and through the years this involvement has been the principal source of strength in the evolution of the SEC. Intercollegiate athletics encountered many challenges in the 1990’s and the SEC provided guidance. In 1993, the member institutions adopted “The Principles of Gender Equity.” Committed to increasing the quantity and quality of women’s athletic opportunities, each school provides at least two more women’s intercollegiate programs than the number of men’s. In the 1979-80 academic year, SEC championships for women were recognized in basketball, tennis and volleyball. The following year golf, gymnastics, swimming and track and field were added. The administration of women’s athletics officially came under the auspices of the conference office in 1984. The SEC currently regulates nine men’s sports and 12 women’s sports. The women’s sports are equestrian, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track (cross country, indoor, outdoor) and volleyball. 1992 SEC CHAMPIONS

HISTORY
CHAMPIONSHIP
Two years after a major format change, the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship has shown that it can play on a nationally-teleivised platform. The format involves a cut after 54 holes to the top-15 teams and nine individuals not on those 15 teams. They will play a final stroke play round to determine the national individual champion and the eight teams that will advance to match play. To win the national championship, a team will then have to win three best-of-five player matches over the course of two days. For the third straight year, the championships will be held on the same course that the men’s championship will be contested on -- Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois. The women’s championship will be contested May 19-24. The LSU Lady Tigers will look to return to the NCAA Championship event in 2017 after finishing tied for 20th in 2015. LSU had its best national championship finishes in 2011 and 2012 taking home third place both years. In 2012, the Lady Tigers were just two shots out of the title. Teams will qualify through four regional sties with six teams advancing from each. The host cities in 2017 are Albuquerque, New Mexico; Athens, Georgia; Lubbock, Texas; and, Columbus, Ohio. The dates are May 4-6 for the regional competition. LSU has made 13 team appearances in the NCAA Championships since they began in 1982. The Lady Tigers were in that first event in Palo Alto, Calif., when LSU finished 16th. The Lady Tigers would return in 1986 when LSU, led by Player of the Year Jenny Lidback, helped the Tigers to a ninth-place finish. Lidback finished tied for 17th. LSU’s longest championship run started in 1986, when the Three Amigas (Ashley Winn, Laura Moore and Michelle Louviere) took the Lady Tigers to top 10-finishes in 1996 (8th) and 1998 (5th). Louviere finished tied for 19th in 1986 and Winn tied for 15th. The Tigers posted 10th-place finishes in 1999 and 2000 and a 12th-place finish in 2001 on teams led by Katy Harris and Meredith Duncan. Duncan played the last 54 holes in 2-under par after opening with a 10-over 82 to finish in a tie for seventh place in 2000 and Harris shot a 1-under 287 to finish in a tie for third in LSU’s appearance in 2001. Harris, Duncan and Megan McChrystal are the three LSU players who played in the championships all four years of their careers. Harris made it on four teams from 1998 to 2001, while Duncan qualified on three teams and once individually from 1999-2002. McChrystal’s four years (2008-11) included three team appearances, including assisting in the 2011 team’s first of back-to-back third place finishes.
LSU POSTED BACK-TO-BACK THIRD PLACE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP FINISHES IN 2011 (TOP) AND 2012 (BOTTOM).
Tessa Teachman (2009, 2011, 2012), Jacqueline Hedwall (2009, 2011, 2012), Kristi Coats (1990, 1991, 1992), Caroline Martens (2006, 2008, 2009) and Amalie Valle (2008, 2009, 2011) are the golfers with three NCAA Championships appearances. The individual highlight came from freshman Austin Ernst in 2011 when she closed with a 6-under 66 that included a hole-in -one to win the title. Since 1993, to get to the NCAA Division I Championships, teams and individuals must go through the NCAA Regional Tournaments. LSU has hosted the regional on three occasions (1993, 2002, 2007). LSU has advanced to the regional round of NCAA post-season play since that first tournament in 1993 every year but 1994 and 2003. Regionals are make-or-break tournaments that reward the teams playing the best over those 54 holes. In 2009, LSU used a chip-in birdie by Alexis Rather on the first hole of sudden death to go to the Championships, but in 2010, one shot meant the difference between eighth and ninth place as LSU missed a chance to go back again. LSU won its first regional title in 2012, capturing the West Regional in Erie, Colo., en route to its second-consecutive third-place finish at the Championships.

HISTORY
2011 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
LSU BEST EVER THIRD AS A TEAM; AUSTIN ERNST WINS TITLE BRYAN, Texas - Freshman Austin Ernst became the first LSU women’s golfer in the 32-year history of the program to win the NCAA Women’s Championship, firing a final round of 6-under 66 to win the championship by three shots at The Traditions Club. Ernst, from Seneca, S.C., becomes the first freshman to win the women’s national championship since Jennifer Rosales of USC in 1998. It was also a historic day for the LSU women’s program as they rallied in the final round to easily finish the highest they have ever finished in their 11 Championship appearances, taking third behind champion UCLA and runnerup Purdue. The best previous finish for a women’s team was in 1998 in Madison, Wisc., when LSU finished fifth. After losing the lead in the third round, Ernst came right back on the second hole of the day with a hole-in-one and then a 60-foot birdie on the next hole put her in the lead to stay. “I had 162 (yards). It was a solid eight iron and it was going right at the pin,” Ernst told the media afterwards. “I looked down and looked back up and begin to hear the roar because it got really, really loud and I looked up and the ball was gone. Everyone was going crazy. I don’t remember exactly what I did, but I went crazy. It was my first hole-in-one ever.” Ernst, showing maturity beyond her freshman status, won by three shots over Arkansas’ Kelli Shean. Ernst posted rounds of 72-66-77-66 for a 72-hole score of seven-under 281, the lowest score ever shot for 72 holes by an LSU women’s golfer. “I was very confident coming in,” Ernst said. “Coming down the stretch my nerves were really good which I was little surprised about. I was just trusting my shots. (Coach Karen Bahnsen) kept telling me one shot at a time. Stay in the now not yesterday. Don’t focus on results.” In fact, Ernst told Bahnsen on the seventh hole she didn’t want to know her place in the standings during the round and the scoreboards on the course were only showing team results. “For Austin to come in here and handle all this shows how poised she is,” said LSU Coach Karen Bahnsen. “She handled everything so well …” Ernst played the par 3s in two-under, the par fours in two-under and the par fives in three-under. She tied with runnerup Shean with 19 birdies and her hole-in-one was one of an amazing five over the last two rounds of the event. The Lady Tiger team played the final 10 combined holes early Saturday in one-over par to fall to a tie for fourth and Bahnsen knew her team had one final kick left. “When we got done we talked about how the girls are the tops in the country in final round average and that’s a fact,” she said. “I told them they just have to play like that and be confident. I’m proud of them. It was a total team effort. I said it was going to take that. Finishing third is tremendous. They fought really hard. It feels awesome. I’ve been doing this a long time and I’m so proud of the girls. They tried so hard the entire week.” Besides Ernst’s 66, junior Tessa Teachman came out big for the team with a one-over 73, senior Megan McChrystal closed her record-breaking career at LSU before turning pro with a 75, Jacqueline Hedwall had a 76 and LSU’s other senior in the lineup, Amalie Valle, posted 80. Hedwall
(who led the team in pars with 50) finished in a tie for 26th place, while McChrystal finished in a tie for 43rd. LSU finished with a school record 72 hole total of 1,181 (292-296-303290), topping the 1,187 total they recorded in 1998.

2012 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS LSU EQUALS THIRD PLACE FINISH FRANKLIN, Tenn. - Coach Karen Bahnsen said it all season long and emphasized it all week at the Vanderbilt Legends Club and the NCAA Women’s Championships about how her Lady Tigers “were such fighters.” Struggling a bit at 26-over par and about to fall out of the top 10 for the first time all week, the Lady Tigers fight showed on the final three holes in Thursday’s third round, as the team counted six birdies on the 7th, 8th and 9th holes to suddenly move to 20-over par and in fifth place entering Friday’s final round of the 72-hole marathon. The Lady Tigers took the Legends Club and its sun-baked double rolled greens to its knees with a 1-over par round of 289, its best of the tournament, as LSU finished a program-best third place for the secondconsecutive year. LSU played the last 21 holes of the tournament in 5-under par and posted a number at 21-over par 1,173 (293-294-297-289) that was almost good enough to win the title. After finishing eight shots behind UCLA last year, the Tigers watched the final wave and top two, Alabama and Southern California, come in with Southern Cal on two occasions dropping back to 21-over to give LSU a potential second-place tie before a late birdie set up even more drama. With USC in the clubhouse at plus-20 and its last player not counting, it was up to Alabama’s Brooke Pancake to two putt to win the title by a shot. Pancake closed out the Tide’s first NCAA title at 19-over par 1,171. USC finished at 20-over 1,172, one shot ahead of LSU. LSU’s 1,173 marks the lowest 72-hole score in school history, eight shots better than the third-place score of a season ago. “They came in here and really wanted to get in a position to win it,” said LSU Coach Bahnsen. “They did and went out and posted a great number and it was just a couple short. We felt like we were good enough to compete and we showed we were. They did it as a total team. I’m very proud of them. Yea, they are a little disappointed but I’m so proud of them.” The repeat of the third-place finish came on the heels of four team wins, the most team wins since the 1985-86 season. Senior Tessa Teachman, in her final collegiate tournament, finished with a birdie to tie for third at 1-under 287 (69-74-70-74). Chirapat Jao-Javanil of Oklahoma was the individual winner at 6-under 282 (69-73-70-70). Teachman, is the fourth LSU golfer to finish in the top three in the history of the NCAA Championships joining Austin Ernst, who won last year. Katy Harris in 2001 and Kristi Coats in 1991 who both finished third. “It is bittersweet,” said Teachman after the verdict was sealed and LSU had finished third. “It is also my last year to give it a try. I know we can all think of shots we left here and there. It’s a four-day tournament. It’s how they declare the champion whoever plays best over four days. So it is bittersweet and frustrating but in retrospect you have to say third means not what we wanted but it’s not bad when you look at the great competition that’s out there.” In posting its 1-over par round, LSU really took advantage of the par-5 ninth on the front side and the more difficult back nine that had caused teams problems all week. All five players birdied the ninth, giving LSU a counting four total of 2-over after struggling early before a nine-birdie

FORMER TIGER MADELENE SAGSTROM
DOMINATES ROOKIE PRO YEAR
To say that former LSU women’s golf AllAmerica and SEC POY Madelene Sagstrom had a dream first pro year during 2016 on the Symetra Tour might be an understated. But because of that dream season, more dreams and opportunities lie ahead for her in 2017. Sagstrom played in 15 events on the Symetra Tour, the secondary tour to the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour. She won three times, posted 12 top 10 finishes and had just one missed cut. In the process, she became the fastest to win over $50,000 on tour, the first ever on tour to win over $100,000 and then the first to $150,000. In the final round of the Symetra Tour Championship, Sagstrom, a native of Sweden, who made her mark with the LSU women’s golf team
from 2012-15, posted a 7-under 64 to assure another top four finish. Following that round the Symetra Tour, Road to the LPGA, crowned the final top 10 on the Volvik Race for the Card money list during a ceremony at Alaqua Country Club following the conclusion of the Symetra Tour Championship presented by IOA. Sagstrom was named the Symetra Tour Player of the Year and Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year, earning one of the 10 cards to play on the LPGA Tour next year. Later in December she would qualify for the Ladies European Tour, opening the door for her to play virtually anywhere in the world and more importantly, aiding her chances to make the Solheim Cup Team for Europe. The 23-year-old Sagstrom won $167,064 on the tour. Throw in cashes in two LPGA events
she played in – the U.S. Women’s Open and the Canadian Pacific event – and her total money won on this year is an astounding $186,966. It amounted, money aside, to what has to be considered the greatest start-to-finish women’s pro golf season by a former LSU Lady Tiger. “I’ve learned so much about myself and my game during my first season on the Symetra Tour. I’m super excited to bring it onto the next level against the best players in the world. It is going to be a dream come true to play on the LPGA. It is a childhood dream of mine to play out there and I am just super thankful to have this opportunity to play out here (Symetra Tour) and really learn. It has been so much fun and I am honored and blessed to be part of this,” said Sagstrom about her year.

The University Club
HISTORY
The LSU men’s and women’s golf teams have had the privilege of calling the University Club home for over 15 years. After undergoing a nine-month renovation in 2009-10, the home of LSU’s nationally-ranked programs features a renown par-72 layout that serves as an impressive showpiece for generations to come. The course at the University Club was re-designed under the guidance of LSU legend and PGA Tour pro David Toms and noted golf course architect Jim Lipe, who designed the original University Club in 1998. The course is carved into nearly 300 acres of land just seven miles south of the LSU campus on Nicholson Drive. The club most recently received rave reviews as the host of the 2013 NCAA Men’s Golf Regional and the 2016 NCAA Women’s NCAA Regional, the third women’s NCAA post-season event to be played at the University Club. The challenging 18-hole course at University Club can play to 7,700 yards from its championship tees and feature wide fairways bordered by pine hammocks and native grasses, in addition to 2,000 feet of bulkhead. Four additional sets of tees are also available for players of all ages and skill levels. In addition, the lake areas have been increased by 110,000 cubic yards in total and more than 500 trees were added throughout the course to provide a challenging test of golf for anyone playing the University Club. Not only that, but the course now has one of the most impressive finishing holes in golf as the 18th hole features a new championship “Tiger” tee with a beautiful six-foot high wood bulkhead. The lake was expanded near the green, where an additional 180 feet of bulkhead was also added. In the summer of 2011, the members of the University Club voted the 18th hole as the course’s “Signature Hole.” The course was built on land donated to the Tiger Athletic Foundation and subsequently leased to The University Club. The original vision that drove University Club’s development was having a premier course that would provide a place for TAF members to play, as well as a home for the men’s and women’s golf teams at LSU.
The course opened for members on Oct. 22, 1998. The swimming and tennis facility adjacent to the course opened in the summer of 2000. The surrounding housing development continues to grow, adding to the beauty of the area surrounding the golf course. The Tiger Athletic Foundation is a private, non-profit corporation that serves as the fund-raising and development arm of the LSU athletics department. Each year, the TAF underwrites scholarship and academics awards, as well as capital development projects for LSU athletics.

Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility
BILYEU GOLF
PRACTICE FACILITY In April 2011, the LSU Golf House was given a well deserved renaming to the Mary and Woody Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility. The Tiger Athletic Foundation paid tribute to the couple for their generous donation that helped redo the University Club, making the course more challenging for collegiate golfers. Playing on the course helped the LSU women to their best ever third place finishes in both the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Championships. “The generosity of the Bilyeu’s has been tremendous, and they are going to make people’s dreams come true for years and years to come,” TAF Senior Vice President Rick Perry said. “There will be young people with the opportunity to chase their dream, not only to be professional golfers but to get the opportunity to come to LSU and get an education. The facility features office and storage areas for both teams, indoor hitting bays, computer analysis stations and meeting and locker room space for both teams as well as graphic displays of the history of both golf programs through the years. The outdoor hitting area is expansive where players can work on all facets of their game.

WEDGE GAME
The practice facilities at the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility feature a wedge game area with three target greens, each measuring 2,000 square feet. Players can fine-tune their wedge game by hitting shots from all lies and angles up to 120 yards as the greens are guarded by rough and five bunkers. The project, designed by LSU alumni David Toms, Jim Lipe and Chuck Winstead, was completed in the summer of 2007.
PUTTING GREEN
In addition to building a new wedge game area, recent renovations to the practice facilities at The Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility saw the completion of a brand new putting green measuring 10,000 square feet along with an existing putting green measuring 14,000 square feet that has been overseeded with bent grass. In all, the improvements to the practice facilities at the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility are estimated at $150,000.
CLUB REPAIR
The Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility is blessed with a state-of-the-art club repair room that allows the players to re-grip clubs, re-shaft clubs and check and change the lies and lofts of each club, including woods and putters, to ensure your set is where you want it.

Members of the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams have the opportunity to practice in a spacious environment as the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility features a large tee box measuring 100 yards in length.
The SAM (Science and Motion) PuttLab uses the same basic principles as TrackMan technology, but with putting. The Tigers are able to fine-tune their putting stroke from the feedback SAM provides about the angle of the putter face at set up, impact and through the stroke.
2017 Golf Classic/2016 Results
HISTORY
THE 2017 LSU TIGER
GOLF CLASSIC THE HISTORY This year’s LSU Golf Classic will mark the 35th-consecutive spring that the LSU women’s golf team has hosted a tournament that has grown to be one of the most prestigious events of the women’s golf schedule. The Classic moved to the LSU University Club in 2000 and has been played there every year except 2010 when U-Club renovations moved the event to English Turn in New Orleans, where the Lady Tigers hosted the event with Tulane. But the tournament roots go back to the local Fairwood Country Club and its unique membership that not only hosted and ran the tournament, but served as uncles and aunts for many of the teams that came each year. Club members hosted teams at their houses every year, allowing teams to save money in the days when women’s college golf wasn’t funded as it is today. Dinners were provided by the club along with member entertainment and some of the nation’s top golf teams and players came to participate. Jenny Lidback, who would go on to win a major championship on the LPGA tour, lost the tournament title in a playoff while at TCU and in 1986 would win the title as an LSU Lady Tiger. Arizona’s Marisa Baena had her coming-out party as a freshman dominating the competition. In the final LSU-Fairwood event in 1999, Duke put on the course a lineup that would become one of the most dominating in the nation. Dan Brooks brought his Duke team back to Baton Rouge to win the 2007 renewal on the way to winning the East Regional at the U-Club, leading to a third-straight NCAA Championship. Arkansas has won three-of-the-last-five events and both teams are back on the course this year. LSU’s annual golf tournament has not only proven to be an important event on the women’s collegiate circuit, but it has proven to be a community event as seen by the hundreds of volunteers who take part each year. It’s those volunteers that the LSU golf program salutes for their tireless efforts that make the LSU event the success it is. Also thanks to the University Club for being a special home for LSU Golf and to the TAF for their work to continue to make the U-Club a strong test of golf.
THE RITE OF SPRING AT LSU’S U-CLUB The rite of spring known as the LSU Golf Classic returns to the redesigned University Club, March 24-26, 2017. The Lady Tigers and the tournament returned in 2011 to their home University Club after a year away to allow a complete renovation of the course. This will mark the 35th year the Lady Tigers have hosted a tournament, the 34th in Baton Rouge. LSU has played the tournament (with the exception of 2010) at the U-Club every year since 2000 as well as hosting two NCAA regionals and an SEC Championship in that time. This year’s LSU Golf Classic has drawn another strong field of 14 teams as the Lady Tigers will host Clemson, Duke, NC State, SMU, Tulane, Arkansas, Denver, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, UNC-Wilminton, UTSA and Washington. Arkansas (2011, 2013, 2014), Duke (1999, 2007, 2016), TCU (1982, 1983) and UNCW (2003) are previous winners of LSU women’s golf events. LSU has
won its tournament eight times (1985, ‘86, ‘95, ‘98, 2000, ‘01, ‘05, ‘15). With its win last year, Duke joined LSU as the only teams to win on the three Baton Rouge layouts of the tournament -- the Fairwood Country Club, the original U-Club layout and the 2010 renovated layout.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College has, throughout its 156-year history, served the people of Louisiana, the region, the nation and the world. LSU is creating a revolution, one of pervasive change and advancement. The focus of the LSU community has been an increased commitment to excellence. Our progress has been dramatic and shows no sign of stopping. Having witnessed many of yesterday’s possibilities become today’s tangible realities, the LSU community set forth to capitalize on its success. The goal was to improve our standing as a nationally competitive flagship university. Following intense discussions among the LSU Board of Supervisors, campus administrators, faculty and student leaders, the objectives required to reach this status crystallized, providing the impetus for LSU’s National Flagship Agenda.
Why LSU? “LSU is my home. It was a place where I made my name and a place where I was able to come here and have fun. It was the best three years of my life. While you are here, have fun and become a master of time management. You need to do what you have to do to make it. Work hard. I have been blessed. Baton Rouge is the place that helped me become who I am. I will never forget this place.”
“LSU has the greatest fans. Being a hometown girl from Baton Rouge, I knew LSU always took pride in its athletic program. You always hear about Tennessee and Connecticut, but I wanted to be able to help put LSU up there on the map with them. We accomplished a lot during my time. I wouldn’t change it for anything. I got to play for one of the greatest coaches in history in Coach Gunter. I got to play with a group of women that became my family.”

“As far back as I can remember (riding bicycles, playing little league baseball), I have literally bled purple and gold. It never crossed my mind that there was anywhere else to go other than LSU. The experiences and relationships that I developed at LSU have been an integral part of my life. No other colleges existed in my mind. I am fortunate to have attended a place that I considered a dream and look forward to my association with the University until the day I die.”
David Toms

“How could you put a price tag on the experience I had at LSU? You couldn’t pay me enough money to take away the College World Series championship or the things I learned from (former LSU head coach) Skip Bertman to the relationships I have with guys like (former LSU teammates) Victor Brumfield and Blair Barbier. You meet all these guys and you have lifelong friends. I could go on and on about guys I still keep in close contact with.”

Joe Alleva
LSU
Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his ninth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and he is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. He was named vice chancellor at LSU in August of 2009, marking the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position.
Alleva completed last spring a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, enhancing his reputation as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. He has been appointed to numerous national committees throughout his career, including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Defined by Excellence” -- to confirm the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary enterprise. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for studentathletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set goals and values for the entire athletics program. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition,
classroom, community,” a total of 83 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in December and May. LSU’s Graduation Success Rate as reported by the NCAA remains at an all-time high for the university with a score of 84. LSU student-athletes in 2015-16 logged 5,612 hours in community service work across 21 sports through LSU’s “Geaux Givers” program. Alleva’s strong commitment to academics ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that cultivates success in the classroom and the development of life skills. And with an emphasis on community outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” fosters a relationship between the local citizens and LSU student-athletes. Alleva has also bolstered the L-Club program to connect with former studentathletes, and he has supervised the thriving “Project
Graduation” program in which former studentathletes return to LSU to earn their degrees. Alleva’s tenure has been distinguished by a number of significant athletic achievements, including four 10-win seasons and 78 total victories by the football team. The Tigers have played in a bowl game in each of Alleva’s eight gridiron seasons and LSU has finished in the Top 20 six times in that period. LSU under Alleva’s leadership has claimed the 2009 baseball national championship and three College World Series berths, the 2015 men’s golf national championship, two women’s basketball Sweet 16 appearances, four gymnastics Super Six berths, three softball College World Series appearances and 18 NCAA Top 5 finishes indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. The Tigers in the past eight seasons have earned 37 individual NCAA championships in the sports of men and women’s track and field,

gymnastics, men’s golf and women’s golf. LSU has captured 14 Southeastern Conference team championships, and the Tigers have won 102 individual SEC titles during Alleva’s term. LSU in 2014-15 became the first school in SEC history to play in a football bowl game, have both its men’s and women’s basketball teams reach the NCAA Tournament, and advance to the College World Series in baseball and softball in the same athletic year. LSU enjoyed another banner year in 2015-16, as the school produced five Top 5 NCAA finishes and earned a No. 19 national ranking in the annual Learfield Directors’ Cup, which measures the overall excellence of collegiate athletic programs. Fifteen LSU teams competed in an NCAA championship event, and the Tigers finished in the Top 10 in seven sports. The Fighting Tiger football squad played in a bowl game for a school-record 16th straight season and finished the year ranked No. 17 in the nation after posting a dominating 56-27 win over Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl. The gymnastics team completed the season No. 2 in the nation, the highest finish in program history, and the softball squad appeared in the Women’s College World Series for the second straight year, reaching the semifinals to finish No. 3 in the country. LSU’s storied track and field program produced three Top 10 finishes in 2015-16. The men’s team placed fourth at the NCAA Indoor Championships and fifth at the NCAA Outdoor meet, while the Lady Tigers placed sixth outdoors. The men’s golf team advanced to match play at the NCAA Championships for a school-record third straight season and the Tigers tied for fifth overall. LSU in 2016 became just the second baseball program in NCAA history to earn five straight NCAA Tournament National Seeds. The Tigers advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals and finished the year tied for ninth nationally. LSU advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round in both men’s and women’s tennis, while also reaching NCAA postseason in women’s golf, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving. Alleva’s vision keeps LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities. Last year, LSU unveiled two new venues -- a magnificent Gymnastics Practice Facility and a tremendous Tennis Center featuring both indoor and outdoor courts. Construction will begin this year on a Nutrition Center within the expansive existing space at the South End of Tiger Stadium. The new facility will feature 30,000 square feet of dining and kitchen area and all of the elements necessary to ensure that the Tigers receive the absolute finest in dietary support. In the fall of 2014, LSU opened the expansion of the South End Zone of Tiger

2016-17 WOMEN’S GOLF MEDIA GUIDE
Stadium -- a project that added premium seating, general public seating and two state-of-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Since 2010, Alleva has directed an aggressive campaign to preserve and enhance the appearance of Tiger Stadium that has included the installation of new windows, lighting systems, gating systems, and championship plazas. The Football Operations Building is undergoing a significant renovation to maintain its status as a high-functioning workplace for coaches and players. LSU’s world-renowned track and field program in 2010 received a new running surface in Bernie Moore Stadium, and extensive renovations to the Maddox Field House in the spring of 2014 gave the Tigers a first-class indoor track and field venue. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to play on one of the most challenging courses in the country. An overhaul of the LSU soccer facility was completed in the fall of 2011, converting the stadium into fan-friendly venue. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a three-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts over 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and he also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, the Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny, and four grandchildren.
