Four from Women’s Golf Land on Big 12 All-Conference Team

IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference announced the 2025 Women’s Golf All-Conference teams and Sun Devil Women’s Golf is well represented.

Arizona State landed four individuals on the Big 12 All-Conference team, the most selections of any team in the league. Patience Rhodes, Beth Coulter, Paula Schulz-Hanssen, and Isla McDonald-O’Brien were recognized for their spectacular seasons. This is the fifth consecutive year that at least two Sun Devils have received All-Conference distinction. For the fifth time in the Missy Farr-Kaye era, ASU had four or more honorees. The respect for the Maroon & Gold is clear, as the awards are voted on by the other coaches in the league.

In their first year in the Big 12, Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye‘s program wasted no time making an impact. Of the 11 All-Conference selections made by the league, four of them were Sun Devils. ASU has now had at least one representative on the highest All-Conference team every year since 2005. This is the second consecutive year that redshirt sophomore Patience Rhodes was an All-League selection, meaning she now has secured the honor in both seasons she has been eligible. Juniors Beth Coulter and Paula Schulz-Hanssen were also named All-Conference golfers for the second time in their career, previously accomplishing the feat after the 2023 Pac-12 season. Freshman Isla McDonald-O’Brien joined an exclusive list of Sun Devil golfers to earn All-Conference honors in their first year. It is the fourth consecutive year that Arizona State has had a freshman recognized by a conference in their postseason awards.  

“We are incredibly proud of having 4 of our 5 team members named to the Big 12 All-Conference team,” Coach Farr-Kaye exclaimed. “The dedication and commitment to our sport and our team has been incredible to watch. I am thrilled to watch us compete in the upcoming NCAA Regional here at home.”

After landing two on the team last year, ASU has now combined for 19 All-Conference honors over the past five seasons alone. Under Missy Farr-Kaye, 27 total Sun Devils have made an All-Conference team. This is the 39th time at least two and 21st time at least four from Arizona State have been honored with the distinction in a single season. A total of 144 Sun Devils have now earned a spot on an All-Conference Team since the award was established back in 1980, when ASU was still in the Western Collegiate Athletic Association. That list includes current Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye,…
