Live-Scoring: Live results can be found on Scoreboard Live (Clippd) here.
Lineup:
Catherine Park
The preseason All-American did not disappoint in her 2024-25 opener (Leadership and Golf Invitational), as she claimed her fourth career individual title. Park helped the Trojans to an opening season team victory as she tied San Francisco's Riana Mission at eight-under-par for the individual crown. Park rallied after being five strokes back in the second round, as she posted a 68 (-4) in the final round. The junior now ranks tied for sixth in program history for tournament titles, as she was also named Big Ten Player of the Week on Sept. 19.
Bailey Shoemaker
The sophomore produced her fourth career top-ten finish as she tied for sixth in the Leadership and Golf Invitational at three-under par. Shoemaker opened up the year with a 73 (+1) but quickly came back with two straight rounds under par, 70-70, to put her second on the team.
Xin (Cindy) Kou
The senior had some ups and downs at the Leadership and Golf Invitational but finished in the top 25 to open the season. Kou posted one of the best rounds for the Trojans, carding a 67 (-5) in the second round. She now has 15 top-25 placements for her career.
Jasmine Koo
Koo made her collegiate debut at the Leadership and Golf Invitational and immediately had an impact with a top-15 finish. The freshman carded one round under par (second round, 71 (-1)) and finished two-over par for the tournament.
Kylie Chong
Chong joined teammate Koo as she also made her collegiate debut. The freshman ended at the bottom of the lineup as she was 14-over par for the tournament and tied for 61st.
