Tournament History
UCLA has back-to-back individual medalists at the Silverado Showdown with Lilia Vu in 2017 and Patty Tavatanakit in 2018. Lilia Vu won the event that year with a score of -8, 208 (74-63-71), and the next season, Patty Tavatanakit medaled in 2018 with the same exact score (71-69-68). Vu's second round tally of -9, 63 in 2017 is tied for the second lowest 18-hole score in UCLA history.
The Bruins last competed at the Silverado Showdown in the spring of the 2021 season. Emma Spitz recorded a t-3rd finish at the event with a score of -2, 214 (71-70-73) to lead UCLA to a runner-up finish (+4, 868).
Last Time Out
Campos earned the first individual title of her collegiate career with a score of 12-under (66-67-71) at the Anuenue Spring Break Classic at Ka'anapali Golf Course last Wednesday on March 29. UCLA finished third out of 14 teams at 10-under, 854, eight strokes back of first place.
Campos' score of 12-under is tied for the fifth lowest 54-hole score in relation to par in program history. The last Bruin to shoot 12-under or better was Tavatanakit at the 2018 ANNIKA Intercollegiate (-13).
Senior Annabel Wilson also picked up her second top-20 finish of the season, tying for 11th at 2-under (71-69-74). Wilson's performance marked the first under-par tournament finish of her collegiate career.
Two other Bruins notched top-20 placements: Alessia Nobilio (T-17th; E) and Yuki Yoshihara (T-19th; +1). It was Yoshihara's third top-20 of her career and first since the 2019-20 season.
