2014 OVC Women's Golf Championship
The OVC Women's Golf Championship returned to The Shoals on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in 2014. Prior to this year the event was last held there in 2008. Murray State came from six shots behind entering the final day to top defending champion Eastern Kentucky by two shots. Click here for a complete recap.
The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals is home to two 18-hole championship courses and lies between the Wheeler and Wilson dams on the Tennessee River. Wheeler Dam is named in honor of General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler - the only Confederate General to attain the same rank later in the United States Army.
The Fighting Joe course at The Shoals was the first Trail course to break 8,000 yards. Travel + Leisure Golf named Fighting Joe one of the top new courses in 2004. The second course, the Schoolmaster (named for President Woodrow Wilson who was responsible for getting Wilson Dam built and was also known as "The Schoolmaster" of politics), opened in the Summer of 2005. The OVC Championship was contested on the Fighting Joe course.
