Playing again is the youth phenom Asterisk Talley. She finished in 2nd last year, one stroke off the leader. I always figured Stanford would get her ... and they did, darn it.

Fernandez Garcia-Poggio is making her fourth appearance at the ANWA, dating back to 2023 when she finished fourth and became the first Spaniard to log a top-10 finish at the championship. The junior has made the cut twice and is currently ranked No. 27 on the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Borovilos is making her fifth trip to compete at Augusta National, having participated in the Drive, Chip and Putt competition four times.

Borovilos is the No. 25 ranked amateur in the world.

The Aggie duo has Texas A&M women's golf ranked No. 3 in the country with just its home tournament, the "Mo" Morial Invitational, left in the regular season April 6-8. Head coach Gerrod Chadwell has now had eight golfers compete at the ANWA with Borovilos joining the list this week.

Vanessa with a great opening round. Currently T2

Tee off time for round 2 on Thursday ...

Cayetana - 7:23 AM CDT
Vanessa - 8:44 AM CDT

Love this event. Hoping our gals make moves tomorrow!

Borovilos safely on to the final round at 5 under. I believe there will be a playoff since there is a 5 way tie for 28th and the top 30 make the cut.

Asterisk Talley in the lead by 1. She came to my wife's baby shower a few months ago. By came I mean she walked through the club house while it was going on. She is from a town in CA about the size of Brenham.

Her first name is Asterisk? As in *? Some of the names parents come up with are insane.

yep. It's derived from the Greek asterikos meaning "little star" ...which she apparently is.

Better than some of the travel ball names I've seen.

That's leaking oil at the moment

HORRIBLE decision dropping in the bunker and trying that shot again…

So much fun today. The weather was amazing. My wallet is much lighter but we won't talk about that. Competition was great!

Borovilos Finishes Tied for 11th at Augusta National Women's Amateur

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Texas A&M's Vanessa Borovilos shot even par in the final round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur at historic Augusta National Golf Club Saturday to finish in a tie for 11th.

Borovilos's round was highlighted by a magical chip in on No. 12 "Golden Bell" that brought her one of the five bridies on her scorecard for the day. The Canadian shot 5-under 211 in her debut at the Augusta National Women's Amateur (ANWA). The sophomore was one of five SEC golfers in the top 11, including 2026 ANWA champion Maria Jose Marin of Arkansas who turned in a 14-under 202 to win the tournament.

Borovilos is the third golfer in program history to place in the top 15 at the ANWA, joining Cayetana Fernandez Garcia-Poggio and Jennie Park who came in solo fourth and tied for ninth, respectively in 2023.

The All-American is the No. 24 ranked amateur in the world and won the 2018 Girls 10-11 Drive, Chip and Putt National Championship at Augusta National. She rejoins her team at the 22nd "Mo" Morial Invitational April 6-8 at Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas, to wrap up the regular season.

The Aggies are ranked No. 3 in the country with four team titles this season under the direction of head coach Gerrod Chadwell.
