Maria Jose Marin, a junior from Arkansas, has triumphed at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, carding a final-round 4-under 68. This victory marks her as the third NCAA champion to win at Augusta National. Marin's win came after 17-year-old Asterisk Talley, who had led early, faltered significantly on the back nine.
Talley's challenge unraveled with a quadruple-bogey 7 on the 12th hole after hitting her tee shot into the water. This allowed Marin to take a commanding lead. Marin maintained her composure, extending her advantage and ultimately finishing with a record-breaking total score of 14-under 202.
Andrea Revuelta finished as the runner-up, with Talley tying for fourth place. Marin's victory earned her entry into three LPGA Tour majors this year, following her previous successes in the NCAA Championship and the Women's Amateur Latin America.
