The LSU women’s golf team completed its most successful fall season of the millennium this semester with two first place finishes out of four tournaments.
The Lady Tigers rank No. 2 in the Golf Digest/National Golf Coaches Associations women’s golf poll despite having their worst performance of the fall in the Mercedes Benz SEC/PAC-12 Challenge on Oct. 24, placing 15th overall.
Coach Karen Bahnsen said the team isn’t focused on the rankings because bigger aspirations lie at the end of spring 2012.
“The polls and rankings mean absolutely nothing,” Bahnsen said. “Our goal is to win an SEC and NCAA it.”
While the team will be focusing on school, it will still commit time to its play, according to Bahnsen.
Bahnsen said the end of the semester, particularly the last tournament, raised some issues that need to be worked out for the spring season.
“We struggled having some putts drop towards the end,” Bahnsen said. “I want us to be more consistent in our short bang.”
The Lady Tigers start their spring campaign abroad, as they travel to Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, for the Lady Puerto Rico Classic on Feb. 12.
