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.
