Razorbacks Finish Program-Best T3 in Stroke Play, Advance to Match Play Quarterfinals at NCAA Championship

CARLSBAD, Calif. – The Razorback women’s golf team moved on to the match play portion of the NCAA Championship thanks to a tied-for-third-place, 1-over finish in the stroke play portion of the event.

Before the 2026 championship, Arkansas had not finished higher than fourth place and shot no lower than 6-over.

The Hogs will take on 6-seed Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals on Tuesday morning. The winner will face the winner of 2-seed USC versus 7-seed Duke in the semifinals on Tuesday afternoon.

Arkansas has advanced to match play three times since the format was introduced in 2015. The program is still looking for its first win, having lost the first two matches 3-2 in 2019 to Wake Forest and in 2025 to Northwestern.
