The ninth annual Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout will return to Mystic Creek Golf Club September 16-22, 2024. Come to El Dorado, Arkansas to see the top rising stars in women’s golf compete for $337,500 in prize money at the only Epson Tour stop in the four-state region of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Jenny Bae came into the weekend looking to move up in the Epson Tour rankings by securing her third tour win, and the 23-year-old from Suwanee, Georgia, did just that. Bae took the lead in Round 1 and held onto it throughout the weekend, playing through one of the toughest courses on the Epson Tour.
Bae tackled the course at Mystic Creek this year with the patience and skill of a well-seasoned veteran, even though she competed in the El Dorado Shootout for the first time in 2023. A good start to the weekend can make all the difference, and Bae leveraged her lead throughout all three rounds of play.
“I’ve honestly never played such fun and stress-free golf in a while, and it was really enjoyable [yesterday],” Bae said on Saturday. “Today I think I gave myself a little too much pressure, and from the start, I was a little tense. Despite everything, I think today went fairly well, and I put myself in a good position heading into tomorrow.”
Bae’s lead diminished early on Sunday, but she pushed through and stayed focused, landing a couple of back-nine birdies and shooting par on Hole 18 to secure her victory. From having her mom in the audience to being showered with water by her peers, everything about winning this year’s El Dorado Shootout was special for Bae.
“It feels really special, really great,” Bae said. “It has been a year with a lot of ups and downs. There’s been a lot of stress and pressure, but I think this definitely gives me time to just reflect on myself and understand that I am on the right track.”
