Oct. 26, 2025 (Paradise Island, Bahamas) – Ashleen Kaur carded one of the two even-par rounds of the day, and the University of Miami had two of the four lowest individual scorers for the week as the Hurricanes pulled away in the final few holes for a 5-stroke victory over South Florida on Sunday at the White Sands Bahamas NCAA Women’s Golf Invitational. No one else could do better than 2-over-par 74 on the windy day.

Kaur, a junior from Houston, Tex., was the individual runner-up with a 6-over-par total of 222 (76-74-72), while Rebekah Gardner, a junior from Northern Ireland, finished two strokes behind at +8. Miami rounded out its scoring on the final afternoon by also counting Barbora Bujakova of Czechia and Stella Jelinek of Germany, who had 74 (+2) and 76 (+4), respectively. Miami finished with a team total of +35 over the 54 holes in constant windy conditions that reached 24 miles per hour at the Ocean Club Golf Course

“It is nice to end the season with a team win,” said Kaur, who had two birdies and two bogeys in her final round. “It felt good to play well today. I knew I had to face the wind, but today I was more patient and played without expectations.”

“We fell behind in the middle of the round today, but we made a move over the last seven or eight holes,” said Janice Olivencia, Miami’s head coach, who is in her fourth season. “We needed Ashleen to play well today, and she did. This is a great way to finish the fall season.”

South Florida finished with a team total of +40 but took solace in having the individual champion in Cherry Marley, a sophomore from England, who is somewhat accustomed to playing in windy conditions back home.

“This was a really special win. I had so much fun out here this week,” said Marley, who shot 74-75-72 to edge Kaur and Isabella Johnson of High Point by a stroke. “I think it helped me to have experience playing in conditions like this. It was tough.”
