XXXXX

HAVRE de GRACE, Maryland -- The University of Oregon tied the 54-hole conference tournament record to win the 2025 Big Ten Women's Golf Championships at Bulle Rock Golf Course. Ducks sophomore Kiara Romero earned individual medalist honors.
Romero fired a 4-under 68 on Sunday to win individual medalist honors with a 7-under 209. The world's fifth-ranked amateur was knocking on the door all season with four runner-up finishes and claimed her first win of 2024-25 by being the only player in the 90-person field to post three rounds under-par during the weekend. The sophomore's 209 was identical to the winning score of the 2024 Big Ten Championships on the same course.
The Ducks success at Bulle Rock came from a balanced attack in which a different player led the squad each of the three days. On Sunday it was freshman Tong An who carded a bogey-free, 6-under 66, the best round of any player during the weekend. Three of the final round's six best scores were posted by Oregon, as Suvichaya Vinijchaitham carded a 3-under 69 to join Romero and An.
Oregon's 852 tied the Big Ten Championships scoring record, equaling the 54-hole mark set by Northwestern and Ohio State when they tied for the title in 2016 at The Fort in Indianapolis.
Romero claimed the title by a three-shot margin over her closest competition. Ohio State senior Kary Hollenbaugh won four of her last five events in the regular-season and continued her sizzling spring with a 5-under 67 in the final round to charge up the leaderboard and claim a share of second. Wisconsin sophomore Kate Brody had the best weekend of her college career, firing a 3-under 69 on Sunday to finish in a tie for second at 212 (-4).
Seven institutions were represented on the eight-person All-Championships roster: Oregon (2), Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State, Northwestern, USC and Illinois.
2025 NCAA Regional selections will be announced on Wednesday, April 23, with teams hoping for an invitation to one of six sites that will host competition May 5-7: Columbus, Ohio (OSU Golf Club – Scarlet Course); Charlottesville, Virginia (Birdwood Golf Course); Golf Canyon, Arizona (Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club); Lexington, Kentucky (University Club of Kentucky); Lubbock, Texas (The Rawls Course); Norman, Oklahoma (Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club).
The 2025 NCAA Championships will take place for the second consecutive year in Carlsbad, California at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa – Champions Course (May 16-21).
