HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The Southern Miss women's golf team travels to Iowa City, Iowa for the 2025 Diane Thomason Invitational this week. The Golden Eagles will tee off on Monday at 8:30 a.m. at Finkbine Golf Course.Â
Iowa, the host school, ran away with the win a year ago in the 2024 edition of the tournament. Southern Miss finished in seventh last year after sitting in sixth place after the first two rounds. The par-72 course will be played at 6,437 yards and spans more than 200 acres of rolling Iowa terrain. It features bentgrass greens, tree-lined fairways and more than 50 sand traps. The course, operated by Troon, is owned by the University of Iowa Athletics Department and is named after W.O. Finkbine.
The field includes Iowa, Montana State, Creighton, Southern Miss, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Bradley, Bowling Green, Western Michigan, St. Thomas, Drake, North Dakota State, Northern Illinois, Nebraska Omaha and South Dakota.Â
Southern Miss will travel Liv Romer, Louise Cuyvers, Taylor Trible, Savannah Van Gaalen and Alma Betoret. Betoret, a senior out of Valencia, Spain, will make her season debut this week. The Golden Eagles are coming off a team win at the Lady Clerico on Sept. 16 in Bartlesville, Okla. Cuyvers and Trible both fired a five-under 67 in the final round to clinch the win, which is tied for the fourth-lowest single-round score in school history.Â
The 16-team field will have a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. on Monday. The second round will follow in the afternoon, and Tuesday's final round will tee off at 8:30 a.m.
