3/29/2026 3:35:00 PM | Women's Golf
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Southern Miss, the reigning champs of the ULM Invitational, heads back to the event this week to close out the regular season. The Golden Eagles will play 54 holes over two days at Bayou DeSiard Country Club starting on Monday morning.Â
The 14-team field included Arkansas State, Bradley, Central Arkansas, East Texas A&M, Houston Christian, Little Rock, Samford, Stephen F. Austin, Southern Miss, Troy, UAB, UT Arlington, ULM (host), and UTRGV. LSU is participating, but only with individuals. Designed by Perry Maxwell, Bayou DeSiard's signature design trademarks are undulating greens, which are typically large and well-contoured with swells. Maxwell's favorite design feature was to include naturally occurring geological cliffs and play both uphill and downhill. The course will play as a par-72, 6,156-yard track over the two-day event.Â
