STILLWATER, Oklahoma — Annie Young is returning to her seat atop the Oklahoma State women's golf program.
OSU announced her promotion Tuesday from assistant to replace dismissed head coach Greg Robertson.
Young was an All-American player for the Cowgirls, concluding her career in 2005. She ascended to head coach by 2008 and held the job through 2011.
From that point, she went on to be a head coach at Cal State Northridge, Colorado State and Tulsa before returning to OSU as an assistant last summer.

'There was high-level interest in this job, which confirmed to me the position our program has nationally in women's college golf,' OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg said. 'After many discussions with golf coaches around the country, former Cowgirl golfers, current players on the team and through conducting the interview process, it became clear that the best candidate for the job was already in Stillwater.
'Our goal for Cowgirl Golf is to compete for championships, much like the Cowboy Golf program, and I'm convinced that Annie Young is the right leader to take the program to that level."
Young noted the recent excitement around the program, including former Cowgirl Maja Star's U.S. Open victory over the weekend.
'With the recent renovation to Karsten, the men's national championship, and Maja Stark's big win at the U.S. Open, it's an exciting time for Oklahoma State golf,' she said. 'I'm grateful to Chad Weiberg for giving me another opportunity to lead this program. I've grown as a head coach over the last 14 years and am eager to apply what I've learned. I look forward to reconnecting with Cowgirl alumni, engaging with the OSU community, and building a championship culture that we can all be proud of.'

McIlroy tumbles out of Canadian Open with a 78. Champ takes 2-shot lead into the weekend
Associated Press CALEDON, Ontario (AP) — Masters champion Rory McIlroy tumbled out of the RBC Canadian Open on Friday with his worst round in nearly a year, with Cameron Champ taking a two-stroke lead into the weekend in the final event before the U.S. Open. McIlroy shot an 8-under 78, making a mess of the fifth hole with a quadruple-bogey 8 in his highest score since also shooting 78 last year in the first round of the British Open. He had a double bogey on No. 11, four bogeys and two birdies. 'Of course it concerns me,' McIlroy said. 'You don't want to shoot high scores like the one I did today. Still, I felt like I came here obviously with a new driver thinking that that sort of was going to be good and solve some of the problems off the tee, but it didn't.' At 9 over, the two-time Canadian Open winner was 21 strokes behind Champ on the rain-softened North Course at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. 'Obviously, going to Oakmont next week, what you need to do more than anything else there is hit fairways," McIlroy said. "Still sort of searching for the sort of missing piece off the tee.' Champ had four birdies in a 68 in the morning a day after opening with a 62. He was at 12 under, playing the first 36 holes without a bogey. 'It's firmed up a little bit, but fairly similar to yesterday,' Champ said. 'The fairways I feel like were firming up a little bit. The greens slightly, but pretty close to how they were yesterday.' The three-time PGA Tour winner got one of the last spots in the field after being the eighth alternate Friday when the commitments closed. 'I definitely didn't think I was getting in,' Champ said. Andrew Putnam was second after a bogey-free 62 on the course hosting the event for the first time. He won the 2018 Barracuda Championship for his lone tour title. 'I hit a lot of fairways, hit a lot of good iron shots, too, and my putter was on fire,' Putnam said. 'Pretty much did everything right. Didn't really make many mistakes.' Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark, tied for the first-round lead with Cristobal Del Solar after a 61, had a 70 drop into a tie for third at 9 under with Canadians Richard Lee (64) and Nick Taylor (65) and France's Victor Perez (65). Taylor won the 2023 event at Oakdale. 'Hung in there,' Taylor said. 'Making a birdie on the last was important to end the day nicely.' Del Solar was 8 under after a 71. Shane Lowry (68) also was 8 under with Ryan Fox (66), Jake Knapp (69), Sam Burns (66) and Matteo Manassero (65). ___ AP golf: recommended
