Women’s Golf Reveals 2023-2024 Schedule
August 21, 2023 | Women's Golf
LOS ANGELES – First-year UCLA women's golf head coach Alicia Um Holmes announced the Bruins' 2023-2024 schedule Monday morning. UCLA is scheduled to play in four fall tournaments and eight spring tournaments, including the Pac-12 Championships.
The Bruins tee off the Fall 2023 season with their return to the Mason Rudolph Championship at the Vanderbilt Legends Club North Course in Franklin, Tenn. on Sept. 22-24. UCLA last competed in the event 10 years ago when newly-hired assistant coach Erynne (Lee) Yoo was a junior on the team and captured her third collegiate medal, leading the Bruins to a 20-shot team victory. UCLA also won team titles at the event in 2011, 2008 and 2007.
Highlighting UCLA's fall schedule is the second annual Battle for the Bell, a match-play competition versus crosstown rival USC, on Oct. 12 at Bel-Air Country Club. The Bruins won eight out 12 total matches in last year's inaugural tournament, defeating the Trojans 8.5 to 3.5.
UCLA will close its fall portion at the highly-competitive Stanford Intercollegiate at Stanford Golf Course from Oct. 20-22. The Bruins have hoisted five team victories and six individual medals at the event dating back to 1995.
Caroline Canales will get a chance to defend her first career title at The Match in the Desert on Jan. 22 to open UCLA's spring schedule.
Other notable spring events include the Therese Hession Regional Challenge at Palos Verdes Golf Club on Feb. 4-6 and the Chevron Silverado Showdown at Silverado Resort & Spa on April 8-10. Last year, Zoe Antoinette Campos won her second of back-to-back medals at the Chevron Silverado Showdown when she finished 5-under (67-73-71).
The 2023-2024 Pac-12 Championships will be held at Palouse Ridge Golf Club in Pullman, Wash. UCLA looks to claim its eighth conference title and first since 2018.
Leading this year's UCLA squad are 2022-2023 All-Pac-12 Team members Campos and Canales. Campos, a consensus First Team All-American and ANNIKA Award Top 10 Finalist, led the Bruins with a 71.42 scoring average last season which ranked sixth all-time for a single season in UCLA history. Campos also notched a team-high eight top 10 finishes and placed outside the top 20 only once. She ended the season as the No. 6-ranked golfer in the country, per GolfStat.
Canales ranked second on the team with a 72.9 scoring average a year ago. The two-time WGCA All-American Scholar recorded six top 10's and nine top 20's. She was UCLA's only golfer to compete in all 12 regular-season events. Canales enters her junior year after reaching the Round of 32 of the U.S. Women's Amateur at Bel-Air Country Club this summer.
Five new faces are joining UCLA's roster with freshman Jennifer Seo (Chandler, Ariz.) and transfers Tiffany Le (UC Riverside), Meghan Royal (Arkansas), Kate Villegas (UC Riverside) and Natalie Vo (Colorado).
Villegas had a dominant summer with three titles. Most recently, Villegas won the 27th California Women's Championship in Ojai, Calif. on Aug. 10 on the first hole of a four-way playoff. She also won a medal at the 57th California Women's Amateur at La Cumbre Country Club on July 29 and repeated as champion at the SCGA Match Play Women's Division on July 12.
Villegas teamed up with Le to post a runner-up finish at the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball Championship on May 17 at The Home Course in DuPont, Wash.
