WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue Women's Golf learned its postseason destination Wednesday (April 24), watching the selection show for the 2024 NCAA Women's Golf Championships on Golf Channel. Earning their ninth straight regional berth in the second season under head coach Zack Byrd, the Boilermakers are headed to the Las Vegas Regional (May 6-8) at Spanish Trail Country Club in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Purdue is the No. 6 seed for the regional, which consists of 54 holes of stroke play. The top five teams and the top individual (not on an advancing team) will advance from the regional site to the championships, which will be held at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California (May 17-22).
The Boilermakers earned an NCAA Regional berth for the 26th time out of the 27 renditions of the NCAA Championships. Purdue advanced to the championships stage 18 of those times. In 2010, the Boilermakers captured the national championship with the second-lowest four-round team score in NCAA Championships history.
Purdue earned a trip to the postseason after a strong 2023-24 campaign that featured two tournament titles and five Top 3 finishes. Capturing the Boilermaker Classic and the Mary Fossum Invitational, Purdue won multiple tournaments in a season for the first time in seven years. The Boilermakers also produced two of the lowest five team totals (54 holes) in school history, a program-best 837 at the Schooner Fall Classic and an 852 (fifth) at the season-opening Boilermaker Classic. Heading into NCAA Regionals, Purdue placed fourth at the Big Ten Championships with an even-par 864, the Boilermakers' best score in the league tournament since 2016.
The quartet of Momo Sugiyama (72.28 stroke average), Ashley Kozlowski (72.47 stroke average), Natasha Kiel (73.97 stroke average) and Jocelyn Bruch (74.22 stroke average) has competed in all 11 tournaments for the Boilermakers. Sugiyama and Kozlowski crack the Top 150 of the national rankings at No. 135 and No. 136, respectively.
The Boilermakers are familiar with Spanish Trail Country Club, having competed in The Show in March. Purdue tied for fourth in the event at 12-over par (293-293-290—876). The Old Gold and Black also participated in the 2023 edition of The Show at Spanish Trail.
