Arizona State Finishes Ninth at NCAA Women's Golf Championship

CARLSBAD, Calif. - Sun Devil Women's Golf fell just short of advancing to the Match Play portion of the 2025 NCAA Women's Golf Championship, held at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa.

No. 8 Arizona State (+16/1168) missed out on a spot on the Top-8 by just one stroke, as the drama came down to the final set of holes. Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye's team battled back to surpass eighth-seed South Carolina to temporarily occupy a Match Play position, but were unable to withstand a late push by No. 10 Virginia that allowed them to post a +15 mark. ASU does secure a Top-10 finish and collects 69 Director's Cup points in the process.

A trio of Sun Devils finished in the Top-40 of the NCAA Women's Golf Championship individual standings. In a field of the best collegiate golfers, juniors Paula Schulz-Hanssen and Beth Coulter along with redshirt sophomore Patience Rhodes more than proved they belonged. Schulz-Hanssen finished in the Top-30, while Rhodes and Coulter tied for 36th in a loaded field of 166 golfers. In her NCAA Championship debut, Isla McDonald-O'Brien showed flashes of the brilliance that earned her Big 12 All-Conference Honors in her first season. Senior Grace Summerhays went out on a high note, delivering a counting score (+2/73) in an attempt to lead the comeback charge. 

Four of the five Sun Devils are eligible to return next season, giving the Maroon and Gold one of the most talented rosters in the country heading into 2025-26. Add in the hunger gained from a heartbreaking ending to this season and Arizona State will be a team to watch going forward. The program now transitions to the offseason, where several of their golfers will remain active in International competition.

History at the NCAA Championship
The Sun Devil Women's Golf program is the most prestigious in the nation, taking home a NCAA record eight NCAA Championships. ASU won the National Championship in 1990, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2009, and 2017, dominating the women's collegiate golf scene for several decades. Nobody knew how to win at the NCAA Championship like legendary Head Coach Linda Vollstedt, who won five titles in nine years in the 1990's. The first came when current Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye was a player, starting the trifecta for Farr-Kaye. She later won as an Assistant Coach in 2009 and as a Head Coach in 2017, giving her three National Titles in three different roles. Since 2000, Arizona State has qualified for the NCAA Championship 22 times, one of only five programs who can make that claim (Stanford, Duke, USC, UCLA).

Summerhays named Scholar Athlete of the Year
Sun Devil Women's Golf's Grace Summerhays was recognized as the 2025 Big 12 Women's Golf Scholar Athlete of the Year, the conference announced this week. Summerhays is putting the finishing touches on one of the most decorated careers in program history. She has been recognized by the opposing coaches in the league as the premier student-athlete in the sport based on her accomplishments on and off the course.

During her time with the Sun Devil Women's Golf program, Grace Summerhays has been a steady presence in the lineup, performing admirably for an Arizona State team consistently ranked in the Top-10. She has taken her game to another level each year and is now one of the best golfers in the conference. She is doing all this while maintaining a 3.99 GPA and earning her degree in Communication in just seven semesters.

Summerhays is the eighth recipient of the honor from Sun Devil Women's Golf, the most of any athletic program at ASU. In their first chance since the Big 12 Conference transition, Arizona State takes home the award for the first time since Alexandra Forsterling earned the distinction after an incredible 2022 campaign. The Maroon and Gold continued a trend they started while in the Pac-12, as a member of Sun Devil Women's Golf claimed 7 of the 16 possible awards while ASU was a member of the league. Arizona State now has a total of 47 Conference Scholar Athletes of the Year, three of which have come since joining the Big 12.

Big 12 All-Conference Team
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.  

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, who landed on the Pac-10 All-Conference Second Team back in 1990.

Farr-Kaye a Division I National Coach of the Year Candidate
Sun Devil Women's Golf Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye was one of 24 coaches to land of the Women's Golf Coaches Association Jackie Steinmann Division I National Coach of the Year Watch List. It is the second consecutive season that Farr-Kaye has garnered the distinction. She has already secured this award once after leading Arizona State to a NCAA Championship back in 2017. Farr-Kaye has led Arizona State to their second consecutive NCAA Championship appearance and three tournament victories in 2024-25.

Rhodes on ANNIKA Award Spring Watch List
Sun Devil Women's Golf redshirt sophomore Patience Rhodes earned a spot on the ANNIKA Award Spring Watch List back in March. The Haskins Foundation released the Spring version of their candidates for the ANNIKA Award, given annually to the top female collegiate golfer. One of the 25 names included on the list was Patience Rhodes from Arizona State. Rhodes is one of only 11 underclassmen to be under consideration for the award. A Sun Devil has landed on this list in five of the past seven seasons, as Rhodes joins the company of program greats Linn Grant, Olivia Mehaffey, and Ashley Menne.

Azahara Munoz Inducted into ASU Hall of Fame
Sun Devil Women's Golf legend Azahara Munoz is part of the 2024 Sun Devil Athletics Hall of Fame class. Munoz is one of six Hall of Fame inductees as a part of a loaded 2024 class, joined by one Hall of Distinction selection. A luncheon honoring the class was held on Friday, Oct. 4, at ASU's Old Main, while honorees were introduced at Sun Devil Football's win over Kansas. Munoz becomes the 20th individual from Sun Devil Women's Golf to enter the Hall of Fame and is the 21st overall inductee with ties to the program. Women's Golf has been represented in three of the past four Hall of Fame classes (2019, 2022, 2024). The most recent representative from Women's Golf entered back in 2022, when Anna Nordqvist was honored. 

"We are extremely proud of Aza for all that she has accomplished in her illustrious career," Sun Devil Women's Golf Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye remarked. "She is a proud Sun Devil and is very deserving of this honor. There is no doubt she is one of the best players we have ever had come through our program."

Azahara Munoz left Arizona State as one of the most decorated golfers in program history.

Five Arizona State products competed in the most prestigious international event on the golf calendar. Both of the Spanish qualifiers were Sun Devils, with Carlota Ciganda and Azahara Munoz each making their third Olympic appearance. The other three Sun Devils made their Olympic debut, as Linn Grant (Sweden), Alessandra Fanali (Italy), and Alexandra Forsterling (Germany) each earned a spot in the iconic competition.

Anna Nordqvist Named Team Europe Captain for Solheim Cup

A Tradition Like No Other
During the past five decades, many of the premier amateur women's golfers have called Arizona State University home. Arizona State won its NCAA-leading eighth national championship title in 2017 to reinforce its standing as the premier women's golf school in the United States. Under legendary Head Coach Linda Vollstedt, the program became the first in women's collegiate golf to win six championships in a decade (1990, '93, '94, '95, '97, '98). ASU remains the lone program to ever capture three national titles in a row (1993, '94, '95). The Sun Devil Golf programs did something in 1990 that had never been done before and hasn't been accomplished since. ASU swept both the Men's and Women's Team National Titles in 1990, becoming the first school to capture both championships in the same year.

Here for the Long Haul
Sun Devil Athletics was thrilled to extend four of its head coaches back in December of 2023, including Women's Golf Head Coach Missy Farr-Kaye. Entering her ninth year with ASU, Farr-Kaye has been extended through the 2027-28 athletic calendar. She completed the trifecta in 2017, becoming the first individual in NCAA history to win a National Championship as a player, assistant coach, and head coach at the same school.

"The Bird"
The Thunderbirds Golf Complex, designed by Douglas Fredrickson Architects and built by Rummel Construction Inc., is a 7,000-square foot facility featuring a grand entry lobby, national championship displays, a team gym and locker rooms for both men's and women's teams, a fueling station, study lounge, team lounge, indoor hitting bays and more. Designed by Sun Devil alumnus and five-time PGA Major Championships winner Phil Mickelson, who is known for his short-game expertise, the four-acre practice area consists of five practice greens, four practice bunkers and a three-acre fairway and rough designed to practice every possible golf shot. On Nov. 1, 2018, Papago Golf Course became the new home for Sun Devil Men's & Women's Golf with the unveiling of their new state-of-the-art practice facility -- The Thunderbirds Golf Complex -- through the generous commitment by The Thunderbirds organization. Arizona State, in partnership with The Thunderbirds, Arizona Golf Community Foundation, the City of Phoenix and Phil Mickelson Design, revitalized the course and helped build the Lou Grubb Clubhouse and Lou's Bar & Grill.
