5/8/2024 4:16:00 PM | Women's Golf

2024 marks the 20th appearance at the NCAA Championships for the program.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The No. 3-ranked Wake Forest women's golf team finished third at the NCAA Regional at Bermuda Run Country Club to advance to the NCAA Championship, and graduate Rachel Kuehn took the top individual spot.
 
Finishing above sixth, the Deacs have punched their ticket to the 2024 NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California. It marks the 20th appearance in the Championship for the program and the sixth-straight. Wake Forest will travel to the west coast as the reigning NCAA Champion.
 
Graduate Rachel Kuehn led the Deacs for the week and finished as the co-medalist with a score of 12-under 204. Kuehn was the only player in the 66-person field to record an eagle in each round of play, making Wake Forest the only team in the field to record three or more eagles. Freshman Macy Pate also recorded one on the par-four 11th hole in her final round.
 
In her first regional appearance, Pate finished with a six-under score of 210. After making the turn of the final 18 holes at even par, her eagle on 11 helped her finish one-under for the final day, after finishing three and two-under in her first two rounds.
 
After starting the event with a one-over 73 in the opening round, senior Mimi Rhodes finished the event even par and in the top 20. Junior Carolina Chacarra finished one over and freshman Brooke Rivers finished five over in her first NCAA Regional appearance.
 
Coach's Comments
"Overall, we had a nice tournament; we did what we needed to do to get back to the NCAA championship. We did not come down the stretch as well as we usually do, so we're going to rest and think through what we need to do to ensure we finish stronger next week. We very much look forward to defending our title." - head coach Kim Lewellen
