- This is the fourth year of the Barbara Nicklaus Cup. The first year was a mixed match play event in 2021, the second year was a women’s stroke play event in 2022 and the third event was a combined match play event in 2024.
- The six men competing this week will be Vaughn Harber, Tyler Sabo, Jack Vojtko, Joe Wilson IV, Giedrius Mackelis and Timotej Formanek.
- The women’s lineup will feature Mandy Song, Matilde Santilli, Nellie Ong, Marina Joyce-Moreno, Sophie Eppelstun and Amalie Tauer.
- The men have opened the season with a sixth-place finish at the Folds of Honor Collegiate and a solid fifth place finish in a very strong field at the Inverness Invitational in Toledo.
- Jack Vojtko has led the team through the first two events with a pair of Top 20s and a 71.17 scoring average. He and Tyler Sabo have had four of the six rounds this season at par or better.
- The women’s team won the season-opening Roseann Schwartz Invitational and then finished sixth at the Folds of Honor Collegiate.
- Matilde Santilli claimed medalist honors at the Roseann Schwarz Invite, her first collegiate win, following rounds of 65-73.
- Freshman Amalie Tauer also notched her first collegiate victory this fall, winning the Rocket Classic as an individual. The win earned her a sponsor’s exemption into the Epson Tour event at Highland Meadows GC next summer.
