Thomas claimed her first career victory at The Bruzzy last spring. The quintet of golfers at the first event also includes junior Lovisa Gunnar, sophomore Jenni Roller and freshman Norah Seidl. Gunnar had a 73.6 stroke average last year with seven top-20 finishes, while Roller carded a 74.4 average. Seidl comes to Tulsa from Austria.
