Four upperclassmen will anchor the Lady Bears' lineup in Columbia, including senior Lene Hafsten-Morch and Cothran, who will make their third consecutive Big 12 Championship appearances. Cothran leads the Lady Bears in every statistical category, including percentage of rounds counted €ˆ(100.0), scoring average (74.36), score vs. par (2.36), rounds of par or better (seven) and top-25 finishes (six).
Senior Morgan Chambers will also make her third career Big 12 Championship appearance after a one-year hiatus. Junior Jaclyn Jansen will make her second appearance, while freshman Kaylin Terry is the only Lady Bear golfer without any Big 12 Championship experience.
