Final Round Results

DALLAS – Oklahoma State women's golf concluded play at the Big 12 Championship on Saturday, tying for fourth place.

The Cowgirls combined for a 3-over 291, the second-lowest team score of the day. Oklahoma State finished at 10 strokes over par, 15 shots behind champion Iowa State and 9 behind runner-up Houston.

Ellie Bushnell (T-5), Marta Silchenko (T-8) and Summer Lee (T-12) each took home All-Big 12 Tournament Team honors. This is the first time since 2021 that three or more Cowgirls earned a selection to the team.

Ellie Bushnell remained in contention for the lead throughout the entirety of the tournament, ultimately claiming a share of fifth place at 1-under. Bushnell earned her highest finish of the season and her fourth top-10 placement behind a 70-70-75—215 (-1) scorecard. The junior was one of just seven golfers to finish under par on the week and her 13 birdies tied for third-most among the 75-player field.

Marta Silchenko ended the tournament in a tie for eighth place at even par, marking her fifth consecutive top-10 finish. Silchenko, who tied for fifth at the 2025 Big 12 Championship, will take home All-Tournament honors for the second season in a row. The junior's second-round 69 (-3) tied for the fourth-lowest round all week.

After a bogey-free 71 (-1) on Friday, Summer Lee used another 71 on Saturday to jump 10 spots on the leaderboard and finish in a tie for 12th at 2-over. With a 76-71-71—218 (+2) scorecard, Lee joins Bushnell as one of seven golfers to play under par in two or more rounds. The sophomore carded a par or better on 45 of 54 holes this week.

Yu-Chu Chen rebounded on Saturday with her best round of the week, turning in a 1-under 71. In her first career Big 12 Championship, the true freshman tied for 42nd at 10-over.

Tarapath Panya finished at 13-over through two rounds after substituting in for Grace Kilcrease (+10) on Friday.

Oklahoma State's postseason destiny will be decided at the NCAA Regional Selection Show on Wednesday, April 29, at 3 p.m. CDT on Golf Channel.
