Women’s Golf Takes on Diamante
10/17/2026 9:15:00 AM | Women's Golf
The Jax State women's golf team will be part of a 20-team field at the Diamante Invitational which starts Sunday morning in Hot Springs, Ark.
The Gamecocks will be one of the first teams on the course tomorrow with a 9 a.m. foursome with Cal Baptist, Sam Houston, and Ball State.
Ball State is the highest ranked team in the field at 91st in the first installment of the Clippd rankings followed by Missouri State (109), Wyoming (123), and Jax State (132). The host Little Rock is right behind the Gamecocks at 133. In total, seven of the top 150 are in the field.
The Gamecocks are led by Lara El Chaib's 71.67 adjusted scoring average in eight rounds this year. The junior is ranked 225th in the country in the first set of rankings and has yet to finish outside of the Top 20 in an event this year. She opened the season with an eighth-place finish at the Pirate Collegiate Classic with a score of -3.
Diamante is currently the fourth-ranked golf course in Arkansas and has been a top five course in the state for close to 30 years and features rolling fairways, panoramic views of the Ouachita Mountains, and bentgrass greens. It will play as a Par72 at 5,821 yards.
Just two more fall tournaments remain on the schedule with a trip to the Keswick Cup on October 26th and the Samford Invitational on November 1-2.
