GatorLinks: Alvarez's big day, more on Muschamp's Gator Club tour, plus other tidbits

A look at some current links covering the Gators from around the Internet.

Hey folks, I'm working on a story about UF women's golfer Isabelle Lendl to preview the Gators' trip to the NCAA Tournament.

If the name sounds familiar, yep, she's the daughter of former tennis star Ivan Lendl. Her sister, Marika, is also a member of the UF team. However, Marika is injured so it's up to Isabelle to come through for the Gators this week.
