LARAMIE, Wyo. (March 10, 2018) – The University of Wyoming women's golf team is prepared for a week in St. George, Utah, as it'll compete in the BYU at Entrada Classic this Monday and Tuesday. To close out Spring Break, UW will take part in Southern Utah's Lady Thunderbird Invitational.
 
"We've been focusing a lot on target style of golf and our putting," Cowgirl head coach Josey Stender said. "We know those are just a couple things that will be important for this team over the next three or four events. I think everyone feels a little more comfortable. These next two courses and layouts are tough, but with course management and the experience we have, I'm confident it will be a good week for us. Everyone is in a good place mentally and physically right now. We are more comfortable and confident because of what we know we are preparing for."

The BYU at Entrada Classic will take place at the Snow Canyon Country Club. On Monday, the field will play 36 holes on the 6,098-yards, par 72 course, with the final 18 on Tuesday.
