STILLWATER – Incoming Oklahoma State women's golfers Isabella Fierro and Maja Stark were among the 72 golfers selected across the globe to compete in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur on April 3-6.
Gathering the week before the Masters Tournament in April, the international field of the top 72 amateur golfers on the planet will compete over 54 holes of stroke play, with a cut to 30 players taking place after 36 holes.
Fierro and Stark, who signed with the Cowgirl golf program in November, are two of the most highly touted signees in program history, and will arrive on campus in August.
Fierro, the No. 35 ranked amateur golfer in the world, is coming off a season that saw her win the Mexican Amateur Championship in Mexico City, the South American Amateur in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the North & South Women's Amateur Championship in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
Stark is ranked the No. 38 amateur in the world, and recently finished seventh at the World Junior Girls Championship in September in Ottawa, Canada. She was one of 12 players chosen to represent Europe in the PING Junior Solheim Cup, and as a member of the Swedish National Team, where she helped her home country win gold at the European Ladies Team Championship this past summer.
The first two rounds of the Augusta National Women's Amateur will take place on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club Wednesday, April 3 and Thursday, April 4. The entire field will then play Augusta National for an official practice round Friday, April 5. The final round will take place at Augusta National on Saturday, April 6 and will feature the competitors who made the cut.
NBC Sports will produce and broadcast three hours of live final-round coverage of the event at Augusta National. Golf Channel will deliver on-site highlights, live reports and news coverage throughout the event. Additionally, Golf Channel's "Live From the Masters" will commence on Friday, April 5 at Augusta National to provide coverage of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals and the Masters Tournament.
