CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University women's golf will tee it up for the first time in the 2026-27 season when the Govs travel to Pawleys Island, South Carolina, Sept. 6-8, for the Golfweek Fall Challenge at Caledonia Fish & Golf Club. 

Caledonia will play at a par-71, 6,004 yards this week. Twenty-three teams will tee it up for this event, including fellow United Athletic Conference foe Central Arkansas and top-100 programs High Point and UNC-Wilmington. Austin Peay tees off beginning at 7:30 a.m. (ET), Sunday, paired with student-athletes from UNC-Wilmington, Central Arkansas and Arkansas State. 

In Austin Peay's last appearance at the Golfweek Challenge, Erica Scutt put together the best 54-hole tournament in program history, shooting a 204 (64-66-74) in her first career individual victory. The Govs earned a fourth-place team finish in their last visit to Pawleys Island, kicking off a run of three-straight top-five showings to begin the 2022-23 season. 

Austin Peay will roll out a veteran lineup in its eighth season-opener under head coach Jessica Combs. Senior Jillian Breedlove will tee off in the No. 1 role for the Govs this week, followed by sophomore Ella Arnzen, sophomore Jordin Cowing, senior Abby Hirtzel and junior Abby Jimenez. Between the group, they have made 82 starts during their collective Austin Peay careers, with Breedlove set for her 32nd appearance for Austin Peay to begin her senior campaign.
