Trinity Forest: The New Home Of SMU Golf...
Scheduled to open in the fall of 2016, Trinity Forest Golf Club becomes the new home course for SMU Golf. Trinity Forest will resemble many of the great old courses of the Northeast and Great Britain, featuring a links style course on a rolling meadow with tall native grasses and dramatic bunkering and green complexes. Once complete, Trinity Forest will become the new home of the PGA TOUR's AT&T Byron Nelson Championship as well as an NCAA invitational tournament and additional high-profile professional and amateur events.

The team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw – Coore & Crenshaw, Inc. – is building both the championship golf course as well as the short course. The design of Trinity Forest will honor classic golf courses with traditional, strategic golf and great artistry as the guiding philosophy.

Located in the 6,000 acre Great Trinity Forest near the Trinity River Audubon Center about 10 minutes south of downtown Dallas, the 400 acre site will ultimately consist of an 18-hole championship golf course, a world-class practice facility, a clubhouse, a practice academy for SMU's golf teams and a teaching center for The First Tee of Greater Dallas.

In The Rankings…
In the latest edition of the Golfstat rankings, the Mustangs rank 32nd, following a 6th place finish at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational in San Antonio Oct. 23-25. SMU's highest ranking of the season came on Oct. 15 when the Ponies enjoyed their highest program ranking of No. 20 following a runner-up performance at the Mason Rudolph Championship Sept. 16-18.

Birdies On Birdies...
Lindsey McCurdy finished the 2015-16 season with a team-leading 80 birdies, placing her 5th on the single season list. Freshman of the Year Brigitte Dunne came in at sixth with 79 a season ago. This season, Kenzie Wright leads the team with 42, while McCurdy has 41.

Making It Count...
Lindsey McCurdy has played in all four of SMU's tournaments this season with all 12 of her rounds going toward the Mustangs total score, while Kenzie Wright has opened her career with 11 of 12 scores counted.

Next Up…
Following the Trinity Forest Invitational, the Mustangs break for winter and return to action Feb. 5-7 for the UCF Challenge in Orlando, Florida.

Last Time Out…
The 21st-ranked SMU women's golf team fired its best round of the tournament in round three going 1-under 287 to climb two spots and finish sixth at the Maryb S. Kauth Invitational in San Antonio. The Mustangs posted a three-round 8-over 872 at the Briggs Ranch Golf Course.

Kenzie Wright played a nearly unblemished third round, carding five of her team-high 11 total birdies and only a single bogey, en route to a 4-under 68. It is the third lowest round of the season, having posted rounds of 66 and 67. Overall, Wright (75-74-68--217) finished the event in a four-way tie for 16th.

Lindsey McCurdy had the highest finish of the tournament for the Ponies, posting her third top-10 finish in four events this season. McCurdy climbed four spots on the final day after a 2-under 70 third round to bring her three-round score to 2-under 214. Also finishing in the top 15 was Brigitte Dunne, who posted her best round of 2-under on Monday. In the final round, Dunne posted one of the tournaments only five eagles. Her even-par 216 placed her in a tie for 14th.

Junior All-American...
Kenzie Wright was one of three Dallas-area golfers to be named to the American Junior Golf Association Rolex Junior All-American team. The Frisco, Texas, native won the Joanne Winter Arizona Silver Belle Championship and earned her top 2016 AJGA finish at the Winn Gripps Heather Farr Classic, finishing tied for seventh. Wright has played in all three tournaments to open the 2016-17 season for the Mustangs. Her highest finish came at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational Oct. 17 & 18 where she placed fourth. Wright also garnered a top-10 finish at the Mason Rudolph Championship, which included a 6-under 66 final round to place her in a three-way tie for eighth.

Four-Ball Qualifiers...
Mustang sophomore Brigitte Dunne and recently graduated Alexandra Rossi finished atop the leaderboard at U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Qualifying held at the Sherrill Park Golf Course in Richardson, Texas. The pair led the 22-team field carding an unblemished 6-under 66 for the victory. The 2017 U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball will take place May 27-31 at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Conference Favorites…
The Mustangs return a pair of All-American Athletic Conference selections from the 2015-16 season, including Freshman of the Year Brigitte Dunne and Lindsey McCurdy.

Dunne posted her best finish of the year placing fifth at The American Championship. She also posted a pair of top-10 finishes during the 2015-16 season finishing with a 74.41 average. McCurdy posted five top-10 finishes, including an event win at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational in September. In 32 rounds, she posted 10 rounds of par or better and shot in the 60s on three occasions.

Mustangs In The Classroom...
Mustang returner Katie Page was honored by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) as an All-American Scholar for the third consecutive year after achieving a cumulative grade-point-average above the required 3.50 following the 2015-16 school year. Page played in all 12 of the Mustangs' tournaments during the 2015-16 season, earning her best finish at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational in September. Her second top 10 finish came in October at the Alamo Invitational. In 35 rounds last season, Page registered a 75.77 scoring average and posted a low round of 69 at the Clover Cup in March. The Louisville, Kentucky, native is majoring in business with a sport management minor.

All six Mustangs from the 2015-16 roster also earned All-American Athletic Conference academic honors for posting a 3.0 or better grade-point-average last year.

Regional Wrap Up…
The Mustangs finished the 2015-16 season 13th at the NCAA Bryan Regional this past May. Brigitte Dunne, Lindsey McCurdy and Katie Page return for 2016-17 after representing the Mustangs in postseason action last year.

Welcome To The Hilltop…
LPGA golfer Jamie Hullett has joined the women's golf staff. A member of the professional ranks starting in 1998, Hullett brings a wealth of playing experience to the Mustang staff.

In Hullett's first season with the LPGA, she tied for 15th at the LPGA Corning Classic, carding a career-low 66 in the event's second round. She went on to earn Rookie of the Year honors on the Futures Tour in 2000, posting a total of nine top-10 finishes. Hullett's career-best finish in a major came in 2005 when she tied for 13th at the U.S. Women's Open. The following year, she tied for 16th at the CN Canadian Women's Open. Most recently, Hullett played in a pair of LPGA Tour events in 2012, as well as 12 events on the Symetra Tour.

Under Sutherland's guidance at Texas A&M, Hullett earned Second-Team All-America honors in 1997 and was a 1995 Southwest Conference co-medalist.
