2010-2011 LSU GOLF MEDIA GUIDE4 INTRO COACHES TIGERS REVIEW HISTORY LSU

For the LSU women’s golf team, the 2010-11 campaign is one they have been looking forward to for some time. First, the University Club is back and better than ever after a year’s renovation. The redesign of Jim Lipe with assistance from LSU All-American golfer David Toms is now a gem of a course that will challenge any college golfer. It’s a course college golfers will want to play and the best thing is that the Lady Tigers have this course to prep for tournaments. In the long run that will help make LSU better. Second, the Lady Tigers want to be so much better in 2010-11. They know how close they were to making the NCAA Championships for the third straight year in 2010. So expect the LSU women’s golf team to be one that is better when it come to the work ethic necessary to be that team that is better than ever.

RETURNEES Megan McChrystal enters her senior season with a chance to leave a big mark on the history of LSU’s women’s golf. She already has posted the only two season stroke averages under 73 in the history of the program, won three individual titles, and, had the round of a lifetime in the final round of the NCAA Championships. McChrystal posted nine birdies in an 8-under par round of 64 to set school, course and NCAA Championship single round records. The two-time All-American has the chance to be just the third golfer in LSU history to go to four NCAA Division I Cham-pionships. But what would be better than ever for her is the chance to experience it for the third time in four years with her teammates. There are four other seniors on the roster all who can contribute to help the Lady Tigers.

Nicole Crochet will wrap up her career in December when she graduates. She has been on a winning team lineup and has the ability to put together important scores for LSU when they may be needed most – early in the year. Senior Lindy LaBauve also was in the lineup when LSU won as a team during her time here and she has experience in top amateur events, making it to the finals of both the Women’s Southern Amateur and the Trans National. Abby Oberthier had her best career finish this past season with a tie for 19th at the Central District Invitational. She was

LSUTIGERS

in the lineup for five events last season for the Lady Tigers. Amalie Valle has been a vital cog in LSU’s success from the time of her arrival from Norway. She has a three-year average of 75.7 and 12 rounds of par or better in her career. Valle had two important match wins in LSU’s march to the National Match Play Championship. For LSU’s two juniors, the 2010-11 sea-son is a chance to add to resumes that have helped LSU to very successful campaigns the last two years. Jacqueline Hedwall has participated in every tournament in her first two years, averaging 76.6 strokes per round for 25 rounds last year. She has five top 10s at LSU, including a third in qualifying for the NGCA Match Play and then had a big win for LSU in a semifinal victory over Florida. She finished ninth in the Bryan National event with a two-over 218. Despite a setback in the fall from the flu, Tessa Teachman still had a strong season that earned her honorable mention All-American honors from Golfweek and second-team All-SEC selection. She won two matches for LSU in the team’s march to the match play championship, including a 6 and 5 decision in the final. She had three top 10s including a fifth in a field of 124 at English Turn in the Tiger-Wave Golf Classic at four-over 220. Teachman finished 12th in the league in stroke average. Sophomore Mary Michael Maggio made the most of a year in which she had to have shoulder surgery between semesters that would ultimately limit her play to just six events. She still averaged 76.4 strokes per round and won all three matches in the march to the Match Play

Championship after tying for eighth in qualifying. Austin Ernst is the newest member of the team and she arrives with quality credentials that include wins this year in the Vicki DiSantis Junior Girls’ Champion-ship and an impressive 4 & 3 win in the finals of the Carolina Women’s Match Play Championship in which she posted a score of 7-under par. Ernst is a two-time AJGA All-American and was 12th in the Sagarin Junior Girls Rankings at the time of her signing. SCHEDULE The season gets off in a strong way just like last year’s National Match Play event as LSU takes part in the NCAA Fall Preview at Bryan, Texas, at Texas A&M’s Traditions Course. The fall also features the usu-ally low-scoring Mason Rudolph event in Nashville and a return for the first time in several years to the UNC Tar Heel in Chapel Hill. The fall concludes in November as LSU returns to Stanford for the new Pac 10/SEC Challenge. In the spring, the familiar opening event in Parrish, Fla. (Central District Invita-tional) sets sthe stage for events in Louisi-ana. Last year, LSU and Tulane combined to host an event at English Turn with the Uni-versity Club under renovation and now both schools will again host events. The Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate is Feb. 27-March 1 at English Turn and then the LSU Golf Classic returns to the U-Club beginning March 11. A total of 21 teams will be on hand to see the LSU home course. The spring concludes with a return trip to the Liz Murphey event

in Athens, Ga. That leads to the post-season with the ultimate goal to get back to where the Lady Tigers started, College Station, Texas.

THE INTANGIBLES Having a challenging course to play on a daily basis will help the team develop. Add that to an outstanding Golf House and practice facility and LSU’s setup rivals the best in the country. The Lady Tigers health will be impor-tant as well. Sickness and surgery limited LSU’s roster at times and the team never did have its best starting five fully opera-tional at any time after the national match play championship. If anything will show that this edition of the Lady Tigers is back and better than ever, it will be a display of consistency throughout the season and the knowledge that when push comes to shove in an NCAA regional, they will be able to complete the task and get to the Division I Champion-ships. The team may not admit it, but they remember how close they were last year and will do all they can to make sure it doesn’t happen again. New course. Solid lineup. Good sched-ule. Team chemistry. It’s all the ways that LSU’s Lady Tigers can be back and better than ever in 2010-11.

MORE ABOUT AUSTIN



One of the yearly traditions for members of the LSU women’s golf team has been to caddy and walk with PGA players on pro-am day at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at the TPC of Louisiana in Avondale. The tournament has made the Lady Tigers a part of the event in a big way, caddying and walking with some of the game’s top stars, including the defending champion each year. This past year that group included Jerry Kelly, former champ and LSU All-American David Toms, David Crane and Sergio Garcia. LSU players also were with Archie and Eli Manning and members of the sponsoring Zurich Financial Services group. In past years, LSU players have caddied for such stars as Vijay Singh and Justin Rose and comedy legend Bill Murray the year he made an appearance in the pro-am. The pros sometimes even let the Lady Tigers get into the act and Kelly and his group this year let caddy Jacqueline Hedwall drive the ball off the 16th tee and she responded with a down the middle effort. “The girls have a great time each year out there,” said LSU Coach Karen Bahnsen. “We all do. The girls are able to visit with the pros and they usually take the time to answer their questions and visit with them. It’s a great day for us to be out there and while it’s lots of fun, it is also a learning experience for the girls at the same time.”

There was history in the making at the 2010 NCAA D1 Women’s Golf Championship as then junior Megan McChrystal had a round for the ages. Entering the final round of the championships, McChrystal’s goal of top 10s in all three post-season events looked to be in jeopardy. But by the time she made birdie on the 72nd hole, she had posted a number that set the school, course and event record for an NCAA D1 Women’s Championship. The Stuart, Fla., native had nine birdies and just one bogey on her card to shoot an eight-under par round of 64 to finish in a tie for fifth place in the championships. In the process she snapped the school mark of 7-under 65 shot by Katy Harris in the second round of the 2001 SEC Championships. It was just the third round in the 30-plus years of LSU women’s golf that was better than 68. McChrystal became the first LSU golfer to complete the 72-hole championship under par (72-71-76-74, 5-under 213). McChrystal birdied three holes on her first nine holes to turn in 3-under 33. “After I was 1-under for the first three holes, I felt like it was time to get some revenge on some of these holes,” McChrystal said at the time. “I felt good and just went for the flag. I didn’t really know what I was shooting. I remember making a long putt on No. 7. I was just playing golf and making putts.” On the final nine holes, McChrystal birdied five of the first six holes to stand at 8-under through 15 holes. A bogey on 17 dropped her back to 7-under, but she made a 12-foot birdie on the final hole to record the 64.

Unfortunately, McChrystal was there as an individual player representing LSU as the Lady Tigers failed in their chance to make it to the D1 Championships. Playing in the NCAA West Regionals in Stanford, Calif. LSU fell just one shot short of making the top eight teams that advanced to the championship. But because McChrystal was the top player not on the eight advancing teams so she moved thorugh to the Championship. McChrystal became the fifth LSU player with a top 10 finish in the NCAA D1 Championships.

2011 NCAA Championship/LSU Championship History The regional rounds for the 2011 Championships will again be conducted over three different golf courses -East: Stetson Univeristy at the LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla.; Central: Notre Dame at the Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Ind.; West: Washington at the Washington National Golf Club in Seattle, Wash. The regionals are from May 5-7. The eight lowest scoring teams, as well as the two lowest individuals not on those eight qualifying teams will advance to the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships at The Traditions Golf Club in College Station, Texas, May 17-20. Texas A&M serves as the host school for the 2011 event. LSU made its first of 10 NCAA championship appearances in the first NCAA event in 1982 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. The Lady Tigers made their longest championship run starting 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 Ashley 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 and Kristi Coats, who competed as an individual competitor in 1991, have the best finishes in the championships for LSU, both finishing third in the individual competition. The only

other top-10 finish for an individual golfer prior to McChrystal’s record-setting finish came in 2005 when Brooke Shelton posted a tie for eighth-place finish. Harris and Duncan are the two players who went to 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 has now gone all three years of her career at LSU, twice on teams and this past year as an individual and could join Harris and Duncan with four appearances if things go right this season. 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.
