No. 8 Arizona State (-13/827) claimed the title on Wednesday afternoon, putting the finishing touches on a wire-to-wire victory. Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye‘s team separated themselves over three rounds at Wigwam Golf Club, sitting in the overall lead after the conclusion of each day. In a field with eight of the Top-100 teams in the latest national rankings, the Maroon and Gold proved to be in a class of their own, claiming victory by four strokes over No. 43 Clemson.
Heading into the day with a two-stroke lead over the Tigers, Arizona State sealed the victory by shooting a 274 (-6) for the second time this week. The Sun Devils were the only team to finish under par in each of their three rounds, putting forth a consistent effort. ASU entered as the top-ranked team in the field and were pursued by many as the clubhouse leaders throughout the event, but still managed to complete their title run. It is the program’s fourth team championship at this event, previously winning back in 2015, 2017, and 2021.

The Maroon and Gold won their 20th team championship during the Missy Farr-Kaye era. The Sun Devils secured their second title of the 2024-25 season, joining the victory at the 2024 Windy City Collegiate back in October. This is the eighth Top-5 finish as a team in nine events to start the year, which is why Arizona State is considered among the main contenders for the 2025 NCAA Championship. Since 1982, the program has now won 100 total events as a team.
Sun Devil Women’s Golf was led by junior Beth Coulter, who nearly pulled off the sweep of the hardware for Arizona State. Coulter was under par all three rounds on her way to finishing in a tie for second, missing out on the individual crown to Clemson’s Melena Barrientos by only two strokes. Coulter was the 2025 Clover Cup runner-up, the second time she has finished second place in her career (2023 Pac-12 Championship). She was not alone in enjoying a successful finish. Freshman Isla McDonald-O’Brien carded a 66 (-4) to cap her week, a new career-best and the lowest score by a Sun Devil this season. Thanks to her efforts, she finished in a tie for fourth. Joining the duo in the Top-10 was
