Team International runs away with 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup title at Congaree
Team International runs away with 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup title at Congaree For the second straight year, the team on foreign soil is heading home with the trophy. Team International got off to a slow start Saturday in singles, dropping the first four matches, but they won 15 of the final 20 to run away with the title at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup at Congaree Golf Club in South Carolina. The Internationals won 35-25, taking the title in the United States for the first time since 2020 and getting their first victory in the series since 2022. The Palmer Cup is a Ryder Cup-style tournament featuring the top men's and women's university/college golfers matching the United States against a team of International players. The U.S. now leads the series, 15-13-1. Former Wake Forest star Carolina Chacarra closed a perfect 4-0 week with a 1-up win against Stanford's Megha Ganne. She was one of two International players to finish the week with an unblemished record, joining former San Diego State standout Justin Hastings, the first Caymanian to compete in the Arnold Palmer Cup. 'Representing Team International as well as my country Spain alongside such amazing golfers and people means the world to me,' Chacarra said. 'It's been such a fun and special week. The team chemistry was unbelievable, and I think the results really showed that. Match play is always a blast, and going 4-0 made it even sweeter. This is a great tournament with some of the best players in the world, and bringing the trophy back was our goal all week." It was a special week for Texas sophomore Daniel Bennett, the 2025 Phil Mickelson Award winner, and Arkansas junior Maria Jose Marin, who won the NCAA individual title last month at Omni La Costa. The duo each received exemptions into professional events, as voted on by their peers. Bennett will tee it up in the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, and Marin will play later this summer in the Amundi Evian Championship.

Florida State women's golf wins first ACC championship in program history
Florida State women's golf has won the program's first ACC championship. The No. 3 Seminoles and ACC second seed won the ACC championship match play 3-2 over Wake Forest at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. Advertisement 'With everything going on, the girls really stayed where their feet are, played some really good golf, and got it done,' said Seminole head coach Amy Bond in a press release. 'I'm super excited; we have waited a long time for this, and it was well deserved by our crew against a very good Wake Forest squad. 'We've been talking about one shot, one hole and they showed a lot of grit. That's what you've got to do in golf and especially in match play. You never quite know what you are going to come up against, and they fought through it no matter how much they were down and got the job done when they needed to.' 'We've waited a long time for this and I'm super-proud of them,' said Bond. FSU freshman Alexandra Gazzoli sealed the victory for the Seminoles on the 18th hole, winning her match on the final stroke to break a four-hole tie against Carolina Chacarra, the 23rd-ranked amateur in the world. Mirable Ting and Kaylah Williams joined Gazzoli in winning their respective matches to help secure the title for the Seminoles, with Lottie Woad and Sophia Fullbrook falling in their matches.

NCAA Women's Golf Regionals: Recaps, highlights from final round at every site
NCAA Women's Golf Regionals: Recaps, highlights from final round at every site College golf's championship season is that much closer to crowning a national champ. The six regional championship sites that featured 12 teams and six individuals (72 teams and 36 individuals, total) concluded play either Tuesday or Wednesday, and there were plenty of stellar performances and even some upsets. The top-five teams (30 total) and the top individual (six total) not on a qualifying team from each regional advanced to the national championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's North Course in Carlsbad, California, May 16-21. Here's a recap of all six NCAA Women's Golf Regional sites after the final round as well as who advanced to the national championship. More: NCAA Women's Golf Regionals: Recaps, highlights from second round at every site Recaps will be available once play concludes at each regional site. Charlottesville Regional Winning team: Advancing teams: Individual winner: Advancing individual: Star performance: Keep an eye on: Columbus Regional Winning team: Advancing teams: Individual winner: Advancing individual: Star performance: Keep an eye on: Gold Canyon Regional Winning team: Advancing teams: Individual winner: Advancing individual: Star performance: Keep an eye on: Lexington Regional Winning team: Advancing teams: Individual winner: Advancing individual: Star performance: Keep an eye on: Lubbock Regional Winning team: Wake Forest, 2 under Advancing teams: 1. Wake Forest, 2. Texas, 3. Iowa State, 4. Tennessee, 5. Purdue Individual winner: Carolina Chacarra, Wake Forest, 7 under Advancing individual: Lousiane Gauthier, Florida Gulf Coast Star performance: Purdue. The Boilermakers went to a playoff with Texas A&M to decide the fifth team to earn a spot at nationals, and thanks to Natasha Kiel's eagle putt, Purdue advanced to Omni La Costa in clutch fashion. Keep an eye on: Wake Forest. The ACC runners-up seem to be finding form at the right time. The Demon Deacons won the national title two years ago and are the only team to beat Stanford in any format this year (semis of ACC Match Play). Perhaps a dark-horse title contender. Norman Regional Winning team: Stanford, 22 under Advancing teams: 1. Stanford, 2. Northwestern, 3. Michigan State; 4. Oklahoma, 5. Baylor Individual winner: Andrea Revuelta, Stanford, 8 under Advancing individual: Audrey Ryu, Furman Star performance: Oklahoma. The hosts were outside of the cut line after each of the first two days, but 3-under performances in the second and final rounds helped the Sooners advance to nationals. Keep an eye on: Stanford. The Cardinal haven't lost to anyone in stroke play this season. Stanford is also the defending national champions and has won two of the past three titles. Can the Cardinal make it three in four years?

NCAA women's regionals: Final-round recaps as NCAA Championship tickets are punched
The NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship field will be finalized by Wednesday night. One regional is already in the books in Lubbock, Texas, while only a few holes were left to be played Wednesday morning in Norman, Oklahoma. Four other regionals have 18 holes remaining on what should be a wild final day. The top five teams from each regional advance to next week's 30-team NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa in Carlsbad, California. Also, the top individual not on an advancing team moves on. As the regionals finish, we'll recap everything you need to know from each of the six sites, from who's advancing to who's not to the best stories: Lubbock Regional The Rawls Course, Lubbock, Texas, Par 72 Advancing teams: 1. Wake Forest (-2), 2. Texas (+2), 3. Iowa State (+10), 4. Tennessee (+22), 5. Purdue (+25; def. Texas A&M in one-hole playoff, -2 to even) Eliminated: 6. Texas A&M (+25), 7. UC Davis (+26), 8. Arizona (+28), 9. Florida Gulf Coast (+38), 10. Campbell (+43), 11. Tarleton State (+54), 12. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (+96) Individual champion: Carolina Chacarra, Wake Forest (-7) Advancing individual: 4. Lousiane Gauthier, Florida Gulf Coast (E) The story: Purdue's run-up to regionals left little indication that the Boilermakers would qualify for a second straight NCAA Championship, where they finished solo 29th a year ago. Purdue finished a disappointing eighth at its home event, then tied for 11th at the Big Ten Championship, where head coach Zack Byrd subbed out his best player, three-time winner Natasha Kiel, after an opening-round 80. But trailing the fifth spot by six shots with a few holes left, the Boilermakers rallied; Kiel and fellow senior Jocelyn Bruch birdied each of their last two holes, Nos. 8-9, to force a sudden-death playoff with Texas A&M. That's where Kiel delivered the best 3-iron that Byrd had ever seen before polishing it off with a 12-foot eagle make to send Purdue through. Click here for the full story. Chip shots: After two days in miserable weather conditions, Wake Forest built an eight-shot lead over top-seeded Texas. Tuesday's final round, a day earlier than originally scheduled because of the dicey forecast, brought much better weather and lower scores, as the Demon Deacons cruised to their seventh straight NCAA Championship appearance. Chacarra is the third NCAA regional individual champion in school history, joining Rachel Kuehn and Jennifer Kupcho (twice). … In Laura Ianello's first season as head coach, Texas is through to its ninth straight NCAA Championship. The Longhorns have now finished second at regionals in four of the past five years. … Iowa State advanced through regionals for just the second time in program history, first since 2014. … Tennessee finished three shots clear of the playoff, in large part thanks to Martina Lopez Lanchares' 6-under 66 in the final round, as the Vols qualified for their first nationals since 2019. … Texas A&M, the fourth seed, snapped a streak of three straight NCAA Championship trips as it misses for the first time under head coach Gerrod Chadwell. … UC Davis fell two spots on the final day to miss out on qualifying for its first nationals since 2015. … Third-seeded Arizona has failed to advance past regionals in three of the past four years.
