TCU Concluded the tournament with an even-par round and finished at 3 under overall. The tournament was originally set to 54 holes but was shortened to 36 holes after thunderstorms blew into Norman.
Freshman Camille Min-Gaultier led the way for the Horned Frogs, tying for 11th place with a 2-under finish. She set a collegiate personal best with a 67 on Monday, marking the first sub-70 round of her career. Min-Gaultier tallied five birdies—three of which came on the front nine—tying for the team high. The La Londe-les-Maures, France native delivered an impressive performance.
Kirstin Angosta also delivered a strong performance, finishing under par and tying for 16th place. After starting the final day in third following a stellar 4-under opening round, Angosta secured her second consecutive top-20 finish and the third of her TCU career. She has been impressive throughout her two years with the Horned Frogs, placing inside the top 30 in six of her nine collegiate starts.
Sofia Barroso Sá and Gracie McGovern both posted even-par scores in rounds one and three, finishing tied for 19th place overall. Barroso Sá was in excellent form, sitting at 4-under through 11 holes, which propelled her into third place, just one stroke off the lead. Unfortunately, a triple bogey on the 13th hole ended her hopes for a second career medal.
Meagan Winans finished 7-over and tied for 63rd place overall. Despite the tough finish, she matched her teammate Camille Min-Gaultier for the team high in birdies, with both recording four each in rounds one and three.
TCU finished the tournament just six strokes behind champion Houston. Auburn and Florida State rounded out the top three behind Houston in the final standings. TCU's performance will likely help build their postseason resume. The Horned Frogs placed above six big 2024 NCAA Tournament participants, including fellow Big 12 teams Kansas State, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State. The Horned Frogs have now placed sixth or better in each of its three tournaments in 2024-25.
TCU will have a whole month break before returning to action at the Jim West Challenge on October 20-21 at Kissing Tree Golf Club in San Marcos, Texas. The Horned Frogs set a program record for low round vs. par at the event in 2023.
