May 13, 2026 | Women's Golf
North Carolina's Marie Prats-Rigual made two eagles and shot 2-under-par 68 Wednesday to lead the Tar Heels to a second-place finish in the NCAA Women's Golf Chapel Hill Regional and earn a berth in the NCAA Championship that begins May 22 in Carlsbad, Calif.
Texas won the regional at 5-under-par 835, 11 strokes ahead of the Tar Heels, who were 12 over par today and finished 6-over 846 for the three-day tournament.
Oklahoma State placed third at 8 over. Michigan State and Virginia defeated NC State in a one-hole playoff to grab the final two spots in the NCAA Championship. The Spartans, Cavaliers and Wolfpack were tied at 18 over par through regulation.
Princeton's Thanana Kotchasanmanee (66-72-66) and Oklahoma State's Marta Silchenko (70-68-66) were co-medalists at 6-under 204.
Kotchasanmanee earned a berth in the NCAA Championship as the low individual not on one of the five advancing teams.
Prats-Rigual made two of only three birdies in the 66-player field today. The sophomore from Perpignan, France, shot rounds of 71-71-68 to tie for 10th place at even-par 210.
Megan Streicher (65-72-76) placed 15th at 3-over 213, Reagan Southerland (69-72-73) tied for 16th at 4-over 214, Ing Iadpluem (69-69-80) tied for 28th at 8-over 218 and Inez Ng (76-68-75) tied for 32nd at 9-over 219.
