Five Fast Facts
• Georgia opened the season by placing 13th in the College of Charleston's Cougar Classic on Sept. 8-9. Sydney Givens was the Bulldogs' top individual finisher in Charleston, shooting 4-over 217 and tying for 24th.
• Georgia carded a 4-under 280 in the second round of the Cougar Classic with all four counting scores being par-or-better tallies – 3-under 68 from Maria Garcia, 1-under 70 from Maria Eidhagen Harrouch and even-par 71s from Givens and Morgan Smith.
• The Bulldogs are playing in the Schooner Fall Classic for the second time in the 13th edition of the tourney. Georgia finished 14th in the inaugural event in 2013, with Manuela Carbajo Ré leading the way individually by tying for 19th.
• The Schooner Fall Classic was started by late country music star Toby Keith. An avid fan of college golf, Keith co-owned Belmar Golf Club and presented the team champion with a signed guitar each year until his death in 2024. 
• The tournament continues in his honor and all proceeds benefitting the Toby Keith Foundation. The foundation's main program is the OK Kids Korral, a no-cost housing facility in Oklahoma City for children battling cancer and their families.

Head Coach Erika Brennan
On the weekend's tournament:
"We are looking ahead to competing at Belmar among a great field. The team has dug in especially on shots around the green and making improvements in putting, and we're pumped to test our progress out in Oklahoma. This team is capable of achieving at a high level, and we know we can connect the dots this week."

Sophomore Sydney Givens
On this weekend's tournament:
"I think our team has come a long way since Charleston. Everyone has worked hard, and we've really come together. We're all excited to get out there, and I think it's going to be a good week."

On her individual game:
"As far as positives, I think my driving off the tee and my putting and my chipping around the green was good in Charleston. It was good to have the time to focus on my approaches and distances to greens and pins during the last week. That was an issue at times during the Charleston tournament. I'm confident I've gotten that a little more dialed in and that will make a difference this week."
