CARLSBAD, Calif. – Sun Devil Women’s Golf completed the second stroke play round at the 2025 NCAA Championship, being held at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa.
No. 8 Arizona State (+6/582) finds themselves in ninth place after 36 holes in the chase for college golf’s ultimate prize. Following tomorrow’s round, the field is cut to 15 teams. The Sun Devils are seven strokes clear of the 15th spot and in a position to improve their standing for a potential match play berth, requiring a top-eight finish after Monday’s round. Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye‘s team are currently ahead of contenders No. 3 South Carolina (10th), No. 2 Arkansas (T11th), and No. 7 Wake Forest (T24th) as the NCAA Championship has proved to be a test to the nation’s best.
A trio of Sun Devil golfers are paving the way for a possible advancement in the postseason. Junior Paula Schulz-Hanssen delivered an excellent round when her team needed it the most, carding a 69 (-3) to move up 21 spots and into a tie for sixth place. She trails overall leader Avery Weed from Mississippi State by four with two stroke play rounds remaining. Despite the fantastic effort by Schulz-Hanssen, it was redshirt sophomore Patience Rhodes who made the biggest move up the leaderboard. She shot up 35 spots into the Top-50 (T43) thanks to a 72, shaving three strokes off her score from yesterday. Joining them in the Top-50 (T43) is junior Beth Coulter, who contributed another counting score after a stellar opening mark. Grace Summerhays and Isla McDonald-O’Brien have each shown flashes of the form that has made them key pieces of the lineup all season. They will each have a chance to make up ground in a crowded middle of the leaderboard.
The Maroon and Gold begin the third round of the 2025 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship at 7:25 AM MST on the first hole tomorrow morning. Arizona State will look to secure their spot in the Top-15 with a strong performance. Fourth round tee times will be based on scoring with the teams higher on the leaderboard beginning their rounds earlier in the day. Visit Scoreboard for live scoring throughout the event.
