The Boilermakers have two events remaining before the 2019 Big Ten Championships, aiming to finish the regular season strong as they head into the postseason.

The Boilermakers shot even-par 864 at Forest Hills Golf Club, including a second-round, nine-under 279, tying the third-best team round in program history. Senior Ida Ayu Indira Melati Putri led the charge with a second-place individual finish, shooting five-under 211, while freshmen Danielle du Toit and RuQing Guan tied for fifth and 12th, respectively.
The Boilermakers have already accounted for four of the top-10 team rounds in program history in 2018-19, and have combined for 39 rounds of par or better on the year. Four players are averaging fewer than 74 strokes per round and have teamed to turn in 16 rounds in the 60's over eight events this season.
Clemson features another loaded field for the Boilermakers, including five top-20 squads and a trio of Big Ten opponents. The Boilermakers will open the tournament competing alongside No. 5 Vanderbilt and No. 21 Illinois, teeing off on the first hole at 8:39 a.m. ET.
