Texas A&M’s Season Comes to an End in Dramatic Regional Playoff
May 06, 2025 | Women's Golf
LUBBOCK, Texas – The No. 19 Texas A&M women's golf team just missed advancing to the NCAA Championships after a dramatic playoff Tuesday in the final round of the NCAA Lubbock Regional at The Rawls Course.
The Aggies fell to Purdue in a playoff by a score of 2-under to even par. The playoff was held on the par-5 No. 9 where all five scores counted. There were two fivesomes that consisted of three Aggies in the first group and two in the second. The first group, comprised of Vanessa Borovilos, Lauren Nguyen and Kynadie Adams went even par while Purdue's two golfers scored a 1-under.
Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio and Sky Sudberry both had 12+ foot putts for birdie in the next group but failed to sink their attempts and Purdue picked up another stroke to seal the playoff.
The Maroon & White started the day two strokes off the cut and began with a late 11:55 a.m. tee time, the third schedule change of the tournament due to weather. Fernández García-Poggio immediately made an impact with four straight birdies. The sophomore finished the day 6-under 66 and tied for 14th for the tournament.
The team went 6-under on the front nine and jumped right into the driver's seat for the fifth and final spot to advance by one shot. On the back nine, Texas A&M stayed strong, only bogeying two holes thru the first 16 holes and the rest resulted in pars. Purdue finished in the group before the Aggies and went into the clubhouse tied at +25 with the Maroon & White with the Aggies on Nos. 17 and 18.
Immediately, Texas A&M took control with birdies from Fernández García-Poggio and Adams to take a two-stroke cushion into 18. Counting pars from Sudberry and Fernández García-Poggio on 18 set the Aggies up to move on with just two golfers remaining.
A double bogey from Adams set the stage for Borovilos who needed a birdie to send the Aggies to NCAAs. The Canadian missed her birdie attempt and had a 2-foot putt for par to force a playoff.
However, just as Borovilos was lining up her putt, lightning struck and forced a one hour and 35-minute delay. Once back on the green, Borovilos sank the putt that led to the playoff versus Purdue.
Borovilos tied for 14th in her first regional experience. Adams was third on the team by taking home a share of 29th. Sudberry followed that up in a tie for 33rd and Nguyen tied for 64th.
Wake Forest (-2), Texas (+2), Iowa State (+10) and Tennessee (+22) were the other four advancing teams. FGCU's Lousiane Gauthier was the lone individual to move on from non-advancing squads.
