The field of 72 teams participating in the NCAA Women's Golf Tournament was announced last night on the Golf Channel, and for the first time in 17 years the field did not include Michigan State.
MSU was left out despite a fourth place finish at the Big Ten Championship last weekend, and a jump to 57th in the Golfweek national rankings.
Fifth year senior Lindsey McPherson had a career weekend at the Big Ten Championship, placing fifth at Fort Golf Resort in Indianapolis, Ind. McPherson finished four shots back of the lead, carding a +1 (271) for the tournament.
Junior Gabby Yurik finished in 12th for the Green and White in Indy.
Yurik qualified to participate in the NCAA Tournament as an individual competitor, meaning MSU will not be fully absent from postseason play. Yurik will travel to South Bend, Ind. with coaches to compete and try to earn a berth in the championships field.
