Purdue hosts 2003 golf championship

The NCAA has named Purdue University host of the 2003 Women’s Golf Championship. The four-round, 72-hole tournament will be played May 20-23 on the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex’s Kampen Course.

"It is a great honor to have the NCAA select us as host of a national championship tournament," Purdue Director of Golf Operations Devon Brouse said. "We made a strong showing when we hosted the NCAA Central Regional in May. Knowing how well we handled that challenge, I have all the confidence that our well-trained Purdue staff will once again put on another first-class event."

"This is a great opportunity for Purdue and the greater Tippecanoe area," Purdue Athletics Director Morgan Burke said. "The Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex will provide a fitting challenge for the nation’s best intercollegiate women’s golf teams. I know (course designer) Pete and Alice Dye, along with the Bircks, Kampens and Ackermans, will take tremendous pride in our hosting this event. It was this core group who helped us transform the complex into something very special."

Purdue has hosted numerous NCAA events in its history, most notably in women’s basketball. However, this will be the University’s first opportunity to host an NCAA championship event in any sport.
