CARLSBAD, Calif. – Purdue Women's Golf saw its season come to an end Sunday, as the Boilermakers placed 26th at the 2025 NCAA Championships. Entering nationals as the 29th seed, Purdue outplayed its seeding and finished three spots higher than a season ago.
In her final tournament as a Boilermaker, Momo Sugiyama (+7) led Purdue for a team-high sixth time this season. The Australian carded a final round 75 (+3) to end her Boilermaker career with a 73.09 stroke average over 111 rounds, good enough for second in program history behind the legendary national champion Maria Hernandez (73.08). Sugiyama nearly had a hole-in-one in the final round, hitting her tee shot at the par-3 third just inches from the pin.
Freshman Samantha Brown (+11) followed Sugiyama. She made a team-high three birdies throughout the final round, including deuces on both par 3s on the front side.
Also playing in their final collegiate tournament, seniors Jocelyn Bruch and Natasha Kiel tied for 120th at 12-over. Bruch started her final round by playing the first 11 holes bogey free with a birdie at the 17th before settling for a 76 (+4). Kiel had Purdue's round of the day with an even-par 72. Starting in the back nine, she made the turn at 2-under. A double bogey at the first was her only miscue of the day, as Kiel parred her final eight holes to remain at level par.
The top 15 teams advanced to Monday's final round of stroke play, which will determine the individual national champion as well as the eight teams advancing to the match play portion of the tournament.
