Women’s college golf player of the week: Maja Stark, Oklahoma State

Maja Stark won the Hero Ladies Intercollegiate, and helped her Oklahoma State squad to the team title, to win Player of the Week honors.

Maja Stark has only teed it up in six college events with Oklahoma State, but already has won two titles. Her second came on Feb. 9 at the Hero Ladies Intercollegiate, a new event at Founders Club in Sarasota, Florida.

Stark, a sophomore from Sweden, led the field with 21 birdies and at 15 under (66-66-69), logged a six-shot victory over Ole Miss player Julia Johnson.

At Oklahoma State’s only other spring event, the SMU Trinity Forest Invitational, Stark finished second individually. She turned heads in December on a much bigger stage with her 13th-place finish at the U.S. Women’s Open. Two weeks later, she was part of the winning International team at the Palmer Cup.

Stark’s 15-under total ties teammate Isabella Fierro for the lowest 54-hole total in school history. Stark also becomes the 10th player in school history to own multiple individual titles as a Cowgirl.

Women’s college golf team of the week: Oklahoma State

The Cowgirls won the Hero Ladies Intercollegiate at the Founders Club in Sarasota, Florida, on Feb. 9 by two shots.

For the first time since the 2016 Big 12 Championship, Oklahoma State’s women brought home the team and individual title from the same event. The Cowgirls won the Hero Ladies Intercollegiate at the Founders Club in Sarasota, Florida, on Feb. 9 by two shots.

Individually, Maja Stark finished on top, earning Golfweek’s Player of the Week honors for what is her second collegiate victory in just six college starts.

Oklahoma State went 15 under as a team to edge Ole Miss, which had the first- and second-round lead. A closing 6-under par 282 for the Cowgirls was six shots better than the Ole Miss closing effort, effectively bumping Oklahoma State to the top of the leaderboard.

This is the first team title for the Cowgirls since the Trinity Forest Invitational, which opened the 2019-20 season.
