21st NCGA Women's and 18th NCGA Senior Women's Amateur Championships

June 16-18 | PoppyHills

History

The NCGA Women’s Amateur Championship is the association’s premier events for female golfers. There are newspaper records that prove the event was held as far back as 1903. Edith Chesebrough was a five-time champion of the event (1911, 1912, 1916, 1918, 1920).

It is not known when the event was discontinued. Since its resurrection in 2005, the stroke play tournament has quickly become a fixture on the competitive calendar.

The 36-hole tournament record of 5-under-par 139 was set in 2016 by champion Camille Orito. Lynne Cowan is the only multiple-year winner, securing titles in back-to-back years 2006 and 2007. The 18-hole scoring record is 64, shot by Antonia Malate in 2023. 

The Senior Women’s championship is for players aged 50 and over. Lynne Cowan holds the Senior Women’s 36-hole scoring record with a 144 in 2016. Lynne Cowan holds the Senior record with four wins.

In 2021, both championships were extended to 54 holes with a 36-hole cut.

Despite the difficult windy conditions on the back nine, Antonia Malate finished with a bang. Malate played her final seven holes in one-under par, including a 12-foot birdie putt on the final green to cap off her first NCGA title in the Women’s Amateur Championship at Poppy Hills GC. Her final round 79 gave her a two day total of 10-over 154 and a one-shot victory over Arielle Swan-Smith
