MANHATTAN, Kan. – Looking to end the season on a positive note, the Kansas State women's golf team will take part in the 22^nd Big 12 Championship, Friday through Sunday, in Dallas, Texas. The event will be contested at the par-72, 6,215-yard Dallas Athletic Club for the first time in league history.
