The 2024 Spring season for the Purdue University women’s golf team came to an end after 54 holes at the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California in 29th place, missing the fourth-round cut.
For the third straight day, Momo Sugiyama led the Boilermakers in scoring. The Australian fired a 75 (three-over-par). She finished well by playing the final five holes in two-under-par in the third round. The young Aussie concluded the tournament at seven-over-par (72-76-75—223) for the tournament and in a tie for 57th place.
Jasmine Kahler and Natasha Kiel added 77s for Purdue in the third round. Both players concluded their three rounds tied at 230 (14-over-par) and finished in a tie for 106th place.
Playing her 118th and final round as a Boilermaker, Ashley Kozlowski carded an eight-over-par round of 80 in the third round of NCAA Tournament. Over her Purdue career, she appeared in 41 tournaments, registered 14 Top 20 finishes and nine Top 10 performances.
The Lady Boilermakers finished the second season under head coach Zack Byrd with two wins and four top-three finishes throughout the 2023-24 campaign. The Lady Boilermakers won the Boilermaker Classic and the Mary Fossum Invitational. It was the first time in seven years that Purdue’s Lady Boilermakers golf team won multiple tournaments in a season. The Lady Boilermakers also recorded two of the lowest five-team totals (over 54 holes) in school history, a program-best 837 at the Schooner Fall Classic and an 852 at the season-opening Boilermaker Classic.
This past season, Purdue placed fourth at the Big Ten Championships with an even-par 864, the Lady Boilermakers’ best score in the league tournament since 2016. The Lady Boilermakers secured their ninth straight NCAA Regional appearance after finishing second at the NCAA Las Vegas Regional to advance to the NCAA Championships for the 19th time in program history.
Continuing with the successful tradition of Purdue women’s golf, at least two Lady Boilermakers — Kozlowski and Sugiyama — landed on the All-Big Ten list for the 16th time in the past 22 years. Both Kozlowski and Sugiyama earned second team All-Big Ten honors.
