NCAA Women's Golf Championship live leaderboard

Oregon gets last semifinal spot

Tong An was 4 up with eight to play and slowly watched her lead slip away. She had a chance to end it on the 18th hole but missed a putt. She grinded out the first playoff hole then stood over another putt to win on the 20th hole. After wiping sweat off her hands, she knocked in the putt and send Oregon into the semifinals for the second straight year.

Northwestern advances to semifinals

Northwestern becomes the third team to advance to the semifinals thanks to Lauryn Nguyen's win on the 19th hole against Clarisa Temelo.

Tong An, Lauren Kim going extras

In a match that could decide the Oregon-Texas battle, Tong An and Lauren Kim are tied after 18 holes. An had a putt to win on 18 but missed low. She was 4 up with eight holes to play.

Texas is up in the remaining two matches.

Stanford, Florida State matchup set

Here's a look at the matchups for Stanford-Florida State:

• Paula Martin Sampedro vs. Kaylah Williams, 4:15 p.m. ET, 1st tee
• Megha Ganne vs. Lottie Woad, 4:25 p.m.
• Kelly Xu vs. Sophia Fullbrook, 4:35 p.m.
• Andrea Revuelta vs. Mirabel Ting, 4:45 p.m.
• Meja Ortengren vs. Alexandra Gazzoli, 4:55 p.m.

Northwestern gets on the board

Arkansas was up 2-0, but Elise Lee goes all 18 holes and closes out a 1-up victory over Reagan Zibilski. Northwestern leads in the final two matches.

Kiara Romero continues hot play

The sophomore at Oregon shot 7-under 65 on Monday in the final round of stroke play, and she showed no signs of slowing down Tuesday. She fell behind early before taking six holes in an eight-hole stretch and eventually won 2 and 1 to give the Ducks their first point.

Kendall Todd gets first point for Arkansas

The Razorbacks have the individual champion, and now they're a bit closer to trying to win the team title, too. Kendall Todd, who advanced to the semis of the U.S. Women's Amateur in 2024, won her match, 3 and 2.

Mirabel Ting clinches match for Florida State

Annika Award winner Mirabel Ting was clutch down the stretch, beating Bailey Shoemaker 3 and 1 to help Florida State beat USC 3.5-1.5 and advance into the semifinals, where the Seminoles will take on Stanford.

The win was Florida State's first in match play.

Stanford advances to semis

After being down early for a portion of the match, top-seeded Stanford stormed back to beat Virginia. Paula Martin Sampedro was 3 down with five holes to play but won four straight and took the match 1 up. Then Meja Ortengren had a 2-and-1 win over Megan Propeck. Andrea Revuelta nearly dunked her approach on the par-4 15th to clinch her match, 5 and 3.

Stanford beats Virginia, 3.5-1.5.

Mirabel Ting wins Annika Award

As it was announced on the broadcast, Florida State junior Mirabel Ting won the 2025 Annika Award as Player of the Year in women's college golf.

First point on the board

Florida State's Kaylah Williams gets the first point on the board with a 5-and-4 win over USC's Cindy Kou. Florida State goes up 1-0 on Southern Cal, with the winner of that match taking on the Stanford-Virginia winner Tuesday afternoon.

Stanford on upset watch?

Could top-ranked Stanford, which beat Virginia by 41 shots in stroke play, fall to the Cavaliers in match play?

Virginia has taken a 3-2 lead as the first groups make the turn at Omni La Costa. There's still plenty of golf left, but it once again shows how big of a difference there is between stroke play and match play.

Texas up quick against Oregon

Anything can happen in match play, and seeds don't necessarily matter, as Texas is showing. The No. 7 seed is up in three matches early against Oregon, with Bohyun Park, Farah O'Keefe and Cindy Hsu all starting hot out of the gate.

Lottie Woad goes 2 up on Jasmine Koo

In perhaps the best match of the morning wave, world No. 1 amateur Lottie Woad has won two holes in her first five against USC's Jasmine Koo. Florida State leads in three matches early.

Stanford takes early lead

There's plenty of ups and downs in match play, but early on, Stanford is continuing its stellar play. The Cardinal lead in three matches early, with Virginia having a 2-up advantage in the first match.

It's a special pairing between Stanford and Virginia, as Cardinal coach Anne Walker and Virginia coach Ria Scott were college teammates at California, were at each other's weddings and have remained good friends to this day.
