FORT WORTH – The TCU Horned Frogs recently concluded a challenging week of collegiate golf at the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate Invitational, hosted for the second consecutive year at the prestigious Colonial Country Club. The tournament, known for attracting top talent and providing a high-level competitive environment, served as a crucial preparation opportunity for TCU as they approach NCAA Regional play in the coming months. The Horned Frogs finished tied for 12th place in the 18-team field, posting a 54-hole total of 47-over par (887).
The Charles Schwab Invitational consistently draws a strong field and this year was no exception. Six of the nation’s top-10 teams participated, alongside nine programs ranked within the top 25 according to the latest Scoreboard rankings. The presence of 14 top-50 world amateur golfers further underscored the event’s significance as a key indicator for the upcoming NCAA championships. This level of competition provided a valuable measuring stick for TCU, allowing them to assess their strengths and areas for improvement against the nation’s elite programs.
Angosta Leads the Frogs with Strong Individual Performance
Highlighting TCU’s performance was Kirstin Angosta, who continued her impressive form with a third consecutive top-25 finish and her fourth of the 2025-26 campaign. Angosta carded a one-under 69 in the final round, the lowest round of the tournament for any TCU golfer. She finished at 5-over par (215) tying for 17th place. Starting her round on the 10th tee, Angosta navigated the course effectively, being one stroke under par at the turn and maintaining even play on the front nine. She closed with birdies on holes three, 10, and 16, accumulating a total of eight birdies throughout the tournament – tied for ninth-most among all competitors. Angosta’s consistent play has been a cornerstone of TCU’s success this season.
Stanford Claims Team Title, Romero Secures Individual Crown
The team competition saw top-ranked Stanford repeat as champions, finishing at 8-over par (848). Oregon’s Kiara Romero, the world amateur No. 1, lived up to her billing, dominating the individual standings with a five-under par (205) total, securing a five-stroke victory. Romero’s performance underscored her status as a leading contender for the NCAA individual championship. Oregon finished second overall at 11-over par (851), while Duke and Wake Forest tied for third at 19-over par (859). Texas rounded out the top five at 20-over par (860).
