Fresh off Junior PGA victory, Asterisk Talley starts strong at U.S. Women's Amateur
BANDON, Ore. — Oh, look. Asterisk Talley is near the top of the leaderboard yet again. Since she burst onto the scene last summer with her victories in the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball and Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, the 16-year-old from Chowchilla, California, golf fans have grown accustomed to seeing Talley in contention at most of the biggest amateur events in the world, and even some professional ones, too. That hasn't changed after the first round of the 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur. Talley opened in 3-under 69 on Monday at Bandon Dunes and sits T-4 after the morning wave behind a trio of players, including Rianne Malixi, the defending champion of the U.S. Women's Amateur who beat Talley in the final last year at Southern Hills. Both players have gotten off to excellent starts on the Pacific Coast of Oregon, but Talley doing so on the heels of her latest achievement makes it even more impressive. Last Friday, she won the Junior PGA Championship in Indiana, one of the biggest title of many in her young career. Now, she's once again in great position to make match play at another USGA championship. "I'm doing well," Talley said Monday after six birdies in her opening round. "I got some sleep coming from Indiana and then got some sleep here. I've been fine. Kind of got rested before this week, so I'm feeling pretty good." Talley said she doesn't have her trophy from the Junior PGA with her this week, but the PGA of America is sending her a replica in the mail. In addition to her USGA title and pair of runner-up finishes last year, Talley also tied for low amateur honors at the 2024 U.S. Women's Open and finished runner-up at the 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur. She also beat then-world No. 1 amateur Lottie Woad in singles at the Curtis Cup. She has made a name for showing up big in the biggest events, and early on this week and off a big victory last week, it seems to be the case again. But the U.S. Women's Amateur is not won on Monday or Tuesday. Talley understands the week is a marathon, though getting off to a good start in her first competitive round at Bandon Dunes is encouraging for the remainder of the week. More: U.S. Women's Amateur live updates: Scores, first-round tee times, highlights at Bandon Dunes "I've been playing links golf a lot lately," Talley said, "and just this kind of course. I'm kind of used to it. "There's pretty much no trouble off the tee. It's just, what are you going to do to control the distance around the greens. That's the biggest difference. I feel pretty good at that by now." Talley exudes confidence for someone her age, but she thrives in these championships and moments. USGA events are known as the toughest championship tests in golf, venues and setups that are supposed to strike fear into players and truly separate the best. Talley has made those events her personal playground. Bandon Dunes is the next chapter in her book. One round of stroke play means nothing come Wednesday. But she's looking forward to the rest of the week and the challenges she's presented with. "It feels great just always coming back to these USGA events," Talley said. "It's always so fun. No matter how far I make it." This article originally appeared on Golfweek: U.S. Women's Amateur 2025: Asterisk Talley in contention after PGA win

Co-medalists, including defending champ, fall in Round of 64 at U.S. Women's Amateur
(Editor's note: Follow our live updates here from the U.S. Women's Amateur.) BANDON, Ore. — Arianna Lau didn't know how close Rianne Malixi hit her approach shot on the par-5 18th hole, she just knew it was close. Roughly 10 feet, to be exact, is how close the defending U.S. Women's Amateur champion hit her 3 wood for an eagle look. Lau knew she had to respond, and she did. Hitting 3 wood herself, Lau smoked her shot to the front left part of the green and watched it roll to about 13 feet from the pin, just outside Malixi's ball. Then, the 64 seed, who advanced to earn the final spot in match play after a 3-hour, 3-minute playoff Wednesday morning, buried the putt, and Malixi couldn't match. Lau knocked out the defending champion 1 up on Wednesday afternoon under a blanket of clouds at Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coast. She had a 1-up lead on the 17th hole and missed a 3 footer for par for Malixi to tie the match, but she stepped up and hit one of the best shots of her life to knock out the top seed and defending champion on the 18th hole. "She hit a really good shot, and I just tried to match it," Lau said. She birdied the same hole in regulation on Wednesday morning to earn the final spot in match play. Her reward? The defending champion and co-medalist in Malixi. Lau got off to a quick start, too, leading 3 up after five holes, but Malixi tied the match by the turn. Then on the back, the duo went back and forth with Lau taking a 1-up lead three separate times before Malixi would tie the match. Then on the 18th tee, they matched beautiful approach shots back toward the clubhouse. However, Lau made the putt and added pressure to Malixi, who missed her eagle attempt, and her effort at the U.S. Women's Amateur was done. "I'm just really grateful, especially today. Like it taught me how to handle pressure, especially in match play," Lau said. "Yeah, I just like really happy to like even make it to round of 64, and to play pretty good golf today, yeah, it was a very — that's very good." She admitted she was nervous overnight before the early-morning playoff, but 24 holes later, she's in the Round of 32 come Thursday morning. Malixi wasn't the only co-medalist to fall Thursday. Asterisk Talley, who lost to Malixi in the championship match last year at Southern Hills, is also heading home. The No. 2 seed fell to Australia's Ella Scaysbrook 6 and 4, ending an insane run that started last week with her victory at the Junior PGA Championship in Indiana. Scaysbrook was 2 up after three holes and held that lead until the 11th, where she won four straight holes to knock off one of the best juniors in the world. Scaysbrook, who is playing in her first USGA event, said she took the underdog mentality in her match, understanding how talented her opponent was. She proved she's worthy of her flowers, too. "Proud of myself, yeah," she said. "It's pretty big. Yeah, it was very good. Good match." Both co-medalists have lost in the Round of 64 for the first time in 10 years. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Kiara Romero took her opening match, 4 and 3. The top seed left, Eila Galitsky, a rising sophomore at South Carolina, won her match, 4 and 3.
