The No. 7 University of Texas women's golf team travels to Napa, Calif., this weekend to join a highly decorated field at the Silverado Showdown. The Longhorns will face seven of the nation's top-20 teams in a three-day event that begins Sunday at the Silverado Resort and Country Club.
The 54-hole event will begin with tee times from the 1st and 10th tees at 9:45 a.m. CT on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday's shotgun start will begin at 10 a.m. CT.

The Longhorns have a record of 99-25-1 against their opponents this season, including a 31-12-1 tally against teams ranked in the Golfweek Top-25 at the time of competition. Texas has seven top-five team finishes in nine tournaments this season, including a pair of team victories.
Texas is coming off a runner-up finish at the San Diego State University March Mayhem event last week at The Farms Golf Club.
