WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue women's golf team hosts its lone home event of the 2018-19 schedule this weekend, welcoming five other teams for the Lady Boilermaker Classic at Ackerman-Allen Golf Course. Saturday and Sunday mark the final tune up for the Old Gold & Black before the 2019 Big Ten Championships, set for April 19-21 at TPC River's Bend in Maineville, Ohio.
The Boilermakers hope to pick up where they left off Tuesday as the team was in the midst of another standout round before the final day of the Clemson Invitational was cancelled due to inclement weather. Purdue stood at seven-under par through 15 holes at The Reserve at Lake Keowee and had climbed from 13th to seventh place on the team leaderboard, sinking a combined 16 birdies and seeing four of the five Boilermakers on the course sit under par. Freshman Danielle du Toit was leading the charge at three-under and looking for her second round of the tournament in the 60's, while junior Micaela Farah was two-under par.
Purdue brought a tournament back to its home course in 2018, hosting for the first time in four seasons and hosting a multi-day event for the first time since 2005. In preparation for the conference championships, the field will each play six individuals with the top-four scores counting toward the team total each round.

THE COURSE
Ackerman-Allen Golf Course is the southern-most of Purdue's two championship courses at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, just four years removed from its most recent renovation from esteemed golf architect Pete Dye and the most recent addition to the Pete Dye Trail. Ackerman-Allen - formerly the Purdue South Course and later Ackerman Hills - originally was designed by Indiana Golf Hall of Famer Bill Diddle and built in 1934. It hosted the 1961 NCAA Men's Championships at which Purdue won the team title and Jack Nicklaus was the medalist. The course was modified in 1968 by Larry Packard to accommodate the expansion of the Tower Acres residential area. It was further developed from 1996 to 1998 as part of the opening of the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex. This weekend's action will play par-72, 6,247 yards.
