Oregon's Kiara Romero makes history at U.S. Women's Open on Sunday
Oregon's Kiara Romero makes history at U.S. Women's Open on Sunday Oregon Ducks superstar Kiara Romero is no stranger to historic feats in her young career, and she added another one to the list on Sunday in the final round of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. With a five-under round of 67, Romero officially shot the lowest single-round score by any amateur in U.S. Open history. Romero finished in a tie for 45th place in the tournament, due in large part to her tough Saturday round of 84, 12-over par. Romero made the cut after shooting 1-over (72,73) in the first two rounds but then struggled on moving day. However, she stormed back on Sunday, shooting five-under on her final 15 holes of the day. Romero, who had Oregon head coach Derek Radley on the bag as her caddie, finished in fourth place among all amateurs in the field. The 2025 Big Ten Women's Golfer of the Year, Romero led the Ducks to the Big Ten Championship and a second straight trip to the national semifinals at the NCAA Championships.

Kenny Dillingham Cites Oregon When Making Bold ASU Prediction
Kenny Dillingham Cites Oregon When Making Bold ASU Prediction originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oregon Ducks will hope to continue their success in the 2025-26 season after an incredible first year in the Big Ten Conference. Formerly of the Pac-12 Conference, the Ducks ran through the Big Ten to an undefeated regular-season record. Advertisement After the Ducks narrowly defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes in a thriller, many thought they had what it took to win the College Football Playoff National Championship. After defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten Championship, the Ducks were awarded the No. 1 overall seed. However, almost a month off proved to be too much, as the Ducks fell in a rematch to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Kenny Dillingham cites Oregon when making bold ASU claim If things had fell differently, there would've been a slight chance that the Ducks could've matched up against one of their former Pac-12 rivals in the Arizona State Sun Devils. Advertisement The Sun Devils, coached by former Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham, also received a first-round bye for winning the Big 12 Championship, placing them on the same side of the bracket as Oregon and potentially setting up a semifinal matchup. On3's Pete Nakos interviewed Dillingham, who spoke on building something special at Arizona State rather than looking to be hired at a bigger school. In the interview, he used Oregon and Clemson as two main examples. 'You have Clemson this last cycle, from 2010 to 2020. They just showed up. People think they've been around forever," said Dillingham. "You have Oregon from 2000 to 2010. You can go back in history and figure out which teams have shown up in which era. "There hasn't been a team in this era, in the 2020s. The lifestyle you have in Arizona, if we can create some staff consistency, and then we're in a league where we can continually compete to win.' While turning Arizona State into a powerhouse like those programs, it's not out of the question that they could be a perennial power in the Big 12 Conference. Under the new College Football Playoff format, the Sun Devils wouldn't have received a top-four seed, as they did last season. Advertisement The Sun Devils making the College Football Playoff is a considerable achievement in its own right. But now, a question arises. Can Dillingham do it again? This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

Kiara Romero goes from 'dead last' to record round at U.S. Women's Open
Kiara Romero had nothing to lose. After carding a quadruple-bogey 8 on the drivable par-4 15th hole on Saturday at Erin Hills, Romero signed for a 12-over 84 to plummet to last place among players who made the U.S. Women's Open cut. But the rising Oregon junior responded in a big way on Sunday, firing a 5-under 67, the lowest final-round score by an amateur in championship history. 'I think just knowing that I was literally in dead last kind of freed me up into knowing I had absolutely nothing to lose and just playing my game,' Romero said. 'Knowing I've been playing some good golf. I made the cut to get here. I knew I had it in me, and I just tried to stay patient and put that round behind me.' Romero's record day, which was 17 strokes better than the previous round, included six birdies and just one bogey. Once she got through the first three holes, which she played in even par with a birdie at No. 2 and bogey at No. 3, Romero said she 'started to roll' playing in the first twosome off. 'We were playing like a pretty fast pace, so everything was just kind of going one after another,' Romero said. 'Yeah, I think it was just a lot easier. Like everything was just coming to me. I could read the greens and I knew what club I was hitting. Yesterday all those things were just a mystery to me. It was like I've never played golf before, yeah. Just happens I guess.' The 19-year-old Romero, who had Oregon head coach Derek Radley on her bag, missed the cut in her USWO debut last year, a start she earned by winning the U.S. Girls' Junior the previous summer. She was coming off a T-8 at the NCAA Championship, which followed wins at the Big Ten Championship and NCAA Gold Canyon Regional. The Ducks fell in the semifinals of match play to eventual NCAA champion Northwestern.
