2025 UNITED STATES COLLEGE LEAGUE

See results below, in the Related Content section.

The two Spanish golfers from Stanford, Paula Martín and Andrea Revuelta, came within a hair's breadth of making history with their team in the NCAA Championship. Stanford lost the final to Northwestern (3-2).

It so happens that both Paula Martín and Andrea Revuelta lost on the 18th hole in their respective matches. Martín fell to Hsin Tai Lin after trailing since the 6th hole, while Revuelta never took the lead. After trailing for up to three holes, Andrea rallied to ultimately fall to Dianna Lee. In any case, both remained in contention throughout.

At Omni La Costa Resort & Spa (Carlsbad, California), Stanford was defending the title it won last year with Paula Martín on its roster. And it did so in the best possible way; this Match Play stage was reached after four rounds of Stroke Play in which Stanford was the best team. Paula Martín (-7), fourth in this stage, made a decisive contribution to her team's symbolic victory.

In the Match Play phase, Stanford first defeated Virginia (3.5-1.5) and then Florida State (3.5-1.5), with England's Lottie Woad, the world number one, on their roster. In those first two matches, Paula Martín and Andrea Revuelta won three matches and tied one of the four played. A significant contribution, therefore, from both golfers.

Carla Bernat (-2), Rocío Tejedo (+4), and Martina López-Lanchares (+13) also played all four rounds, but their universities did not make the final Top 8. Carolina López-Chacarra, Paula de Francisco, Ana Pina, Paula Balanzategui, and Alexandra Vidal, meanwhile, participated in the tournament, but their teams did not advance.

Very positive results at the Regionals

The gateway to that NCAA Final is the demanding Regionals; in them, three Spanish women - Andrea Revuelta, Carolina López-Chacarra and Carla Bernat - led their teams, being the best in the individual category.

Andrea Revuelta (Stanford) won in Oklahoma with a total score of -8 and the best round of the tournament (67) at the decisive moment. In the same event, her teammate Paula Martín (who finished eighth) and Paula Balanzategui (Michigan State) from the Basque Country also qualified for the final.

In Texas, Wake Forest took the team victory, and the individual title went to one of its players, Carolina López-Chacarra from Madrid (-7). Also qualifying for the event were Alexandra Vidal from Catalonia (Iowa State) and Martina López-Lanchares from the Basque Country (Tennessee), who finished fifth with a score of +1.

And in Kentucky, the individual victory went to the brand new champion of the Augusta National Women Amateur, Carla Bernat (Kansas State) from Castellón, who saved a winning 66 for the end.

In addition, Paula de Francisco (Florida), who was second in Virginia with -4, Rocío Tejedo (Louisiana State) and Ana Pina (Mississippi State) qualified.

A string of Spanish victories before reaching the Regionals

At the end of April, Lucía López achieved her first collegiate victory at the Mountain West Championship held at Mission Hills Country Club. The golfer from the Balearic Islands, a member of San Jose State University, accumulated a score of 5 under par over the three days of competition, four strokes better than Anne Shultse of the University of Nevada, who finished second. They were the only two participants to break par.

Earlier, Andrea Revuelta opened her account in the United States with a victory at the ACC Women's Golf Championship held at the Sedgefield Country Club. The Madrid native, a sophomore at Stanford University, shone brightly, carding three outstanding rounds of 67, 67, and 68 for a total of 202, two strokes ahead of Amanda Sambach of the University of Virginia.

Less than a week after Carla Bernat's triumph at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, Cayetana Fernández added to the list of victories in the United States Collegiate League by winning The "Mo" Morial Invitational at Traditions Club, Texas A&M University course.

The Madrid native (-2 overall) was the only golfer to finish under par after the three rounds, carding two 70s (-2) that proved crucial in securing the tournament victory for her team, Texas A&M, with a record 38-stroke lead over the runner-up. This was the second win for Cayetana Fernández, who is in her second year in the United States, following her victory in October at the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate.

Another golfer who joined this winning streak in 2025 was Daniela Campillo from Catalonia, who opened her account in the country by winning the ULM Invitational. Campillo, playing for the Louisiana Monroe team, took the title with a cumulative score of -9 and two absolutely brilliant opening rounds of 67 strokes (-5). In those two days, she carded thirteen birdies and an eagle that ultimately proved decisive. She finished three strokes ahead of Taylor Trible, the runner-up.

Just a few days earlier, Anna Cañadó from Tarragona, Spanish Under 16 and Under 18 champion in 2022 and member of the teams that won the Under 18 European Team Championship and the PING Junior Solheim Cup in 2023, achieved her first victory in the United States, where she continues her sports and academic training at Duke University.

Carla Bernat and Paula Martín, the first to win in the NCAA in 2025

The year began with a double dose of joy provided by Carla Bernat and Paula Martín, protagonists of simultaneous victories in the NCAA, the first of 2025 for Spanish golf.

Carla Bernat, a member of Kansas State University, won the MountainView Collegiate held at the Preserve at Saddlebrooke (Tucson, Arizona), while Paula Martín was the best at the Juli Inkster Invitational that took place at the Meadow Club, in the Californian town of Fairfax.
