FARGO, N.D. - North Dakota State’s Amy Anderson is one of five golfers who will compete for the United States in the 14th World University Golf Championships this July.
Anderson, a junior from Oxbow, N.D., joins Georgia’s Emilie Burger, North Carolina’s Catherine O’Donnell, Michigan State’s Caroline Powers, and Vanderbilt’s Lauren Stratton on the team.
The four-round tournament runs July 3-6 at the Ypsilon Golf Resort in Liberec, Czech Republic. It is a 72-hole stroke play format.
This is the second of two international summer events for Anderson. She will play for Team USA in Scotland June 8-10 for the Curtis Cup Match, regarded as the most prestigious event in women’s amateur golf.
The World University Golf Championships, sponsored by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), are contested every two years. The United States has competed in all of the events since its inception in 1986.
The U.S. women’s team has won the gold medal seven times and has finished fourth or higher in the other six championships. Most recently, O’Donnell won the 2010 gold individual medal and the U.S. finished third in Antequera, Spain.
Three players compete as the team and two play as individuals. The team score is an aggregate of the best two scores out of three each day. All five players are in contention for individual honors.
