There’s an elite, exclusive club in the world of college golf where new members are rarely added.
The cost to get in? A once-in-a-lifetime round. While no player has ever crossed the scoring threshold into the 50s, 19 men’s players have signed for a 60. And in 2023, the first woman joined the club.
Only one woman has ever signed for a 60 in an official college round: N.C. State’s Lauren Olivares Leon in the 2023 Cougar Classic. Seven have signed for a 61, most recently in 2024 courtesy of Mississippi State’s Avery Weed in the opening round of The Ally. Michigan’s Monet Chun fired a 61 in April 2024 at the Chattanooga Classic. Denver’s Anna Zanusso also did so at the Westbrook Invitational. Julia Johnson of Ole Miss did the same in 2019 at the Battle at the Beach. While at Gonzaga, Bianca Pagdanganan shot a 61 at the 2017 Pizza Hut Thunderbird Invitational. Before that, Colorado’s Esther Lee joined the club at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in 2016. Stanford’s Mariah Stackhouse recorded the first women’s 61 at the 2013 Peg Barnard Invitational.
