Yen Wins U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship
May 14, 2025 | Women's Golf
NICHOLS HILLS, Okla. – Texas A&M's Natalie Yen won the 10th U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Championship in dominant fashion Wednesday at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club.
The incoming freshman, alongside partner Asia Young, defeated the pairing of Athena Singh and Keira Yun 5&3 in the championship match. The duo went up quick, taking four of the first six holes, including three straight birdies on Nos. 4, 5 and 6 to take a four-hole lead.
Yen and Young tied the next five holes before winning No. 12 and securing the title on No. 15 to earn the dominant triumph. The 5&3 count was the second-largest margin of victory in the championship match in the tournament's history.
Yen is the third Aggie to win the four-ball title, joining Hailee Cooper (2016) and fellow class of 2025 signee Avery Zweig (2023). Texas A&M is the only program in the country to have three-or-more golfers win the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Championship.
The West Linn, Oregon, native and Young dominated throughout the week en route to the title. The pair shot 7-under 135 during the two-round stroke play portion of the tournament to earn medalist honors and the No. 1 seed heading into match play. In their matches leading to the finals, the pair won 2&1, 6&4, 4&2 and 2&1, respectively, with the semifinal match occurring on Wednesday as well. Over the course of the five matches, Yen and Young only lost seven holes to their opponents.
With the victory, Yen and Young will be in possession of the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Trophy for one year. They will also have exemptions for the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball for 10 years, 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur, 2025 U.S. Girls' Junior, U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur and U.S. Senior Women's Amateur, if age eligible.
The tournament was played under four-ball rules where two golfers compete together as a side with each player playing their own ball. A side's score for a hole is the lower score of the two partners on that hole in stroke play and match play.
Yen is a part of the Aggies' No. 2 ranked 2025 class that features Zweig, the No. 3 ranked 2025 golfer Scarlett Schremmer and 2024 U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Finalist Brynn Kort. Yen is the No. 4 golfer in the 2025 class, according to the Rolex AJGA Rankings. All four incoming freshman have been tabbed as a Rolex All-American at least once in their careers.
