PHOENIX, Ariz. – Northwestern Women's Golf returns to the course this weekend, heading out west to take part in the PING/ASU Invitational. The event runs from Friday (March 28) to Sunday (March 30) in Phoenix, Arizona. Live scoring will be available all three days via Scoreboard.
The Wildcats return to Arizona in pursuit of their third consecutive victory at the event, winning the team title in both 2023 (recap) and 2024 (recap). Last year, Ashley Yun was recognized as the Ann Votik Award winner, which recognizes the top freshman on the individual leaderboard. In 2023, graduate student Kelly Sim won her second PING/ASU title (2021).
The 'Cats are set to tee off at 10:14 a.m. CT on Friday and will be paired with Arizona State and University of California, Berkeley.

The #12 ranked 'Cats round out a 13-team field that also includes host-school and #9 ranked Arizona State, #21 Kansas, Abilene Christian, FAU, Grand Canyon, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Northern Arizona, Pepperdine, Tulsa, University of California, Berkeley, and UCLA.

Three 'Cats to Compete at ANWA
Nguyen, Elise Lee and future Wildcat Arianna Lau will compete at the sixth edition of the Augusta National Women's Amateur (ANWA) April 2-5 in Georgia.
