Women's Golf in Contention After First Round of NCAA Championship

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The No. 4 Texas A&M Women's golf team was tied for 11th and one shot outside of the top eight after round one of the 2026 NCAA Championship at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Friday.

"Something I have observed out here is that the afternoons play a lot harder than the mornings because of the conditions," Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "I thought we were very solid today. If we carry that into tomorrow, we will be in a great position.

The Aggies drew the afternoon tee time for the first round and will return to the course Saturday morning at 8:52 a.m. Eight of the top 15 teams after round one held a morning start on Friday, despite the morning wave being comprised of the bottom 15 ranked teams coming into the tournament.

Texas A&M was tied for 11th at 1-over 289, which was once shot outside of the looming cut of the top eight after Monday's final round of stroke play to advance to match play. No. 5 Texas, No. 16 SMU and No. 34 LSU were tied for eighth at even-par 288.

Freshman Brynn Kort paced the Maroon & White at 1-under 71 and tied for 24th. The Kingman, Arizona, native posted two birdies on the back nine on Nos. 10 and 15 to get her under par in her NCAA Championship debut.

Cayetana Fernandez Garcia-Poggio had a team-high four birdies and shot even par to take a piece of 41st into the second round. Sky Sudberry and Vanessa Borovilos shot 1-over 73 to tie for 60th and Natalie Yen rounded out the lineup at 4-over 76.

Following the third round of stroke play on Sunday, the Aggies will need to stay within the top 15 in order to qualify for Monday's final round. After Monday, Texas A&M will need to stay within the top eight to advance to match play.

Really struggling today. Need to get some birdies badly!

Yep.

Worst round on the course currently by 6 shots at +8. 12 shots back of the best round of the day currently. More teams under par than over currently on the day.

We might have just shot ourselves out of this one.

Man they are saving for their worst golf for the worst time of year. This is a team effort for sure

Wow it has got worse! Wonder what the heck happened for total collapse like that for a team?

Especially considering our two leaders are struggling. Things a surprise.

Rest of the field had issues today too. Tied at 15 is amazing considering our scores.

Need a really big day tomorrow, team has shoot below par at least 1 rd!

Let's hope they figure it out.

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The No. 4 Texas A&M Women's golf team shot 9-over 297 and tied for 15th in the second round of the NCAA Championship Saturday at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa.

The Aggies' second round score brought their tournament total to 10-over 586 and right on the cutline for tomorrow's action. Texas A&M was tied with Tennessee and Florida State for 15th. The Maroon & White will need to be within the top 15 by the end of Sunday's round in order to advance to the fourth round of stroke play and compete for a spot in match play.

Texas A&M shot 9-over par on the back nine to begin the second round but steadied the ship on the front by shooting even-par to stop the damage and get into the clubhouse with the afternoon wave behind them. The Aggies ended the round tied for 23rd but climbed eight spots while teams finished their rounds.

Freshman Brynn Kort led the team for the second-straight day, shooting 1-over 73 and bring her 36-hole score to even par. Kort stands tied for 27th after 36 holes of play

Texas A&M's Season Ends in Third Round of NCAAs

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The No. 4 Texas A&M Women's golf team's season came to an end at the NCAA Championship Sunday after coming in 22nd and turning in a 54-hole score of 18-over 882 at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa.

The Aggies shot 8-over 296 in the final round and missed the cut to 15 teams by six shots. The Maroon & White was led by freshman Brynn Kort who shot 1-over 217 for the tournament and tied for 36th.

Cayetana Fernandez Garcia-Poggio tied for 44th in her second appearance at the NCAA Championship in Carlsbad. The junior went 2-over 218 after 54 holes of play.

Natalie Yen and Vanessa Borovilos both tied for 110th after going 9-over 225 and Sky Sudberry rounded out the lineup tied for 132nd at 12-over 228.

Head coach Gerrod Chadwell's squad tied a program record with five tournament titles this season with five different lineups. The Aggies earned a No. 1 seed for just the second time in program history and saw Borovilos earn a spot on the WGCA Player of the Year Watch List and named an ANNIKA Award Finalist. Chadwell was also named the WGCA Central Region Coach of the Year.

Borovilos and Fernandez Garcia-Poggio will compete for team international at the Arnold Palmer Cup this summer July 3-5 at Tralee in Ireland.

Great year, ladies!

I wonder if there aren't some issues playing on the different grasses? Maybe we could travel that way for some more tournaments, or quick down and back re-con missions to La Costa periodically?

Great finishes in Gerrod Chadwell's first three years here, and I thought this year would be the one we got closer to a championship. Still a great season overall regardless.
