NCAA Women's Golf Championship highlights: Field slashed in half after Sunday

The 2026 NCAA Women's Golf Championship is underway at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa's North Course, with top-ranked Stanford leading the field after two rounds. Sunday's round featured the first cut, with only 15 teams advancing to Monday's play; defending champion Northwestern narrowly made the cut in 15th place at 12 over par, while Wake Forest missed the cut by one shot. A playoff between LSU's Taylor Riley, Indiana's Sheridan Clancy, and Wake Forest's Macy Pate on the par-3 16th hole to determine the final individual qualifier was suspended due to darkness and will resume Monday morning.
