TULSA, Okla. –– The Dale McNamara Invitational, hosted by The University of Tulsa, returns after a three-year absence Monday-Tuesday, April 9-10.

The 13-team field includes: BYU, Fresno State, Kansas State, Lamar, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Sam Houston State, SMU, Texas State, UNLV, UTSA and host Tulsa.
McNamara coached 26 years at The University of Tulsa and took the golf program from the ground floor to national prominence, winning four national championships. Her first national crown came at the 1980 AIW National Championship. McNamara's 1982 team won the final AIAW Championship, while winning the first-ever NCAA Championship that same season. Led by individual champion and daughter Melissa, Tulsa's 1988 team captured the school's fourth national golf title and second NCAA crown.
McNamara retired from coaching following the 1999-2000 season after winning 81 tournament titles and coaching 28 first- or second-team All-Americans.
The Dale McNamara Invitational is the 22nd regular season collegiate golf tournament that Tulsa has hosted since the inception of the women's golf program in 1974-75. It's the seventh Dale McNamara Invitational. In the previous 21 Tulsa-hosted tournaments the Golden Hurricane has won 10 titles.
The last Dale McNamara Invitational was played in the spring of 2018 as Oklahoma State claimed the team title at the par-70 Tulsa Country Club course. This is the second Dale McNamara Invitational held at the Golf Club of Oklahoma. The last came in 2012 as Arizona State won the team championship.
As a team, Tulsa has played in two early tournaments this season, placing sixth at the Sam Golden Invitational and 11th at the Schooner Fall Classic.
