Cowgirls second, Tulsa seventh as season resumes in Guadalajara
GUADALAJARA, Mexico – The Oklahoma State women’s golf team wrapped up its weekend at the Collegiate Invitational with a second-place finish. Tulsa, which was in second place through 27 holes, had several players and its coach fall ill overnight and tumbled into a seventh-place finish.
The Cowgirls carded rounds of 294 (+6) and 289 (+1) on Saturday, adding to a first-round 288 (E) on Friday to end at 7-over par with a score of 871.
OSU finished just three strokes behind first-place Florida State, which secured its third-straight Collegiate Invitational team title. This marks the Cowgirls’ fourth top-5 finish in five events so far this season.
2025 All-Big 12 honoree Grace Kilcrease earned her second top-10 placement of the season, carding a consistent 70-72-72—214 to finish at 2-under-par and tie for sixth place. The senior was one of just nine golfers to finish under par on the weekend.
In her first tournament in more than four months, Lucy Darr earned a 14th-place finish, the second-highest placement of her college career. The sophomore from Stillwater played two of three rounds under par, going 69-71-78—218 (+2). Her first-round 69 (-3) marked the best round by a Cowgirl this weekend and tied Darr’s career-best 18-hole mark.
Fellow sophomore Tarapath Panya rounded out the trio of Cowgirls in the top 20, tying for 19th place. The Bangkok, Thailand, native posted a 71-78-72—221 (+5) scorecard, playing two of three rounds at par or better.
The Cowgirls return to action in just over a week, when they’ll travel out west to Tucson, Arizona, for the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate (Feb. 9-10).
Tulsa compiled a team score of 26-over par 890.
“This team showed real grit this week,” said head coach Mike Roters. “With five of our eight traveling players dealing with illness, they stayed tough, stayed together, and competed when it mattered most. They fought through adversity and did what was needed to keep our season moving forward. I’m extremely proud of this group. This performance showed we can compete with anyone in the country, and I’m excited for what’s ahead this spring when we’re healthy.”
Samantha Olson earned her best finish as a Golden Hurricane, tying for second place. The runner-up showing marked Olson’s first top-five finish of the season.
