NASHVILLE, TN – Lipscomb women's golf is set to host its second annual tournament, named The Robbie, from Oct. 31^st-Nov. 2^nd in Huntsville, Ala.
 
About the Course
 
Hampton Cove Golf Course is one of the 11 courses on the RTJ Golf Trail in the state of Alabama. Hampton Cove is home to 54 holes and three courses, including the Highlands, River, and Short Course.
 
The Robbie is set to be held at the Highlands, an 18-hole par 72 course and one of the most picturesque and challenging courses on the Trail. Highlands was built in 1992 as a public course that is open year-round. With a total length of 7428 yards, the course is surrounded by tree lines and mountains with a majority of water-hazard holes.
 
In addition to hosting the inaugural Robbie in 2024, the Highlands at Hampton Cove Golf Course has been home to the women's golf ASUN Championship for each of the past three years.
 
Lipscomb's History at the Course
 
Lipscomb's women's golf program has seen much success at the Highlands. In 2023, the Bisons won their first-ever ASUN championship at the course. The Bisons backed that performance up with a pair of runner-up finishes at the 2024 ASUN championship and the 2024 Robbie in the subsequent fall season.
 
Lipscomb's team is headed up by junior Katya Tibbetts, fresh off a top ten finish at the Diamante Invitational. Tibbetts shot an opening round 68 (-4), the lowest round of her collegiate career, en route to a 7^th place overall finish. Also leading the attack for the Bisons are seniors Casey Yu and Savannah Howell. 
Yu is no stranger to Hampton Cove. The senior finished in the top ten in two separate events at the course during the 2024-25 season, including a 7^th place finish at the Robbie before finishing runner-up at the ASUN championship.
 
Lipscomb's roster is rounded out by junior transfer Ava Bankston and freshman Maria Alcocer Gonzalez.
 
The Field
 
Lipscomb will be hosting several highly ranked teams, including the SMU Mustangs (#31) and the Georgia Bulldogs (#60). Several regional teams will also be competing, including Evansville, Morehead State, Murray State, Tennessee Tech and UAB. ASUN opponent Bellarmine will make the trip to Huntsville as well.
