October 06, 2025 | Cowgirl Golf
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Oklahoma State women's golf began competition in the Prairie Dunes Invitational at Prairie Dunes Country Club on Monday, ending the day tied for fourth place.
OSU posted a 295-stroke first round, 15 strokes over par. The Pokes sit 8 shots behind the leading Florida Gators.
The Cowgirls battled through a nearly five-hour weather delay after officials halted play at 10:15 a.m. As a result, only one of Monday's two scheduled rounds was completed, and the event has been shortened from 54 to 36 holes. The second and now final round is scheduled to tee off tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. CDT.
Ellie Bushnell leads the Cowgirls and sits in a tie for third place heading into the final day of competition after carding a 1-over 71. The junior is just one stroke off the individual lead.
Marta Silchenko ended the day just outside of the individual top 10, tied for 11th place at 2-over par.
Sophomore Summer Lee fired a 4-over 74 and currently sits in the top 20 (T-19). Lee notably carded the first eagle by a Cowgirl this season, scoring a 2 on the course's par-4 14th hole.
Tarapath Panya turned in a 76 (+6) in her first round of individual competition.
Grace Kilcrease shot a 78.
Sammie Miller scored an 86 in her season debut.
The Cowgirls return to action tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. CDT for the second and final round of the Prairie Dunes Invitational.
