CARLSBAD, Calif. \u2013 The Oklahoma State women’s golf team resumed play at the 2026 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship on Saturday, holding steady in third place through 36 holes.

\n\u00a0

\nThe Cowgirls combined for a 2-under 286, giving Oklahoma State back-to-back under-par rounds after carding a 283 (-5) on Friday. \u00a0OSU is one of just three teams below par on the week and trails first-place Stanford by five shots and second-place USC by two heading into Sunday.

\nYu-Chu Chen’s<\/a>\u00a04-under 68 was highlighted by a hole-in-one on Omni La Costa’s par-3 16th hole, the first ace of her collegiate career. Chen’s 68 tied for the second-lowest round of the day and led her to a 48-spot jump up the individual leaderboard to 12th place. The true freshman’s nine birdies are tied for fifth-most among the 156-player field.

\n\u00a0

\nMarta Silchenko<\/a> continued her historic junior campaign with a 2-under 70, matching her Friday scorecard to move into seventh place. After going bogey-free yesterday, Silchenko recorded only one on Saturday. The round marked Silchenko’s 19th at par-or-better this season and moves her within three of tying Caroline Hedwall’s single-season Oklahoma State record.\u00a0

\n\u00a0

\nAfter tying for Friday’s low round, Ellie Bushnell<\/a> remained steady with a 1-over 73. Bushnell sits in a tie for 12th alongside fellow Cowgirl Yu-Chu Chen<\/a>, just three shots off the individual lead.

\n\u00a0

\nTarapath Panya<\/a><\/a> and Summer Lee<\/a> are each 5-over after the tournament’s opening two rounds. Panya carded a 75 (+3) on Saturday, while Lee added a 77 (+5).

\n\u00a0

\nThe Cowgirls return to action Sunday at 6:30 a.m. PST for the third round of the NCAA Championship.
