The Oregon women’s golf team got off to a rough start to their 2025-26 season with a 3-2 loss to the Texas Longhorns on Sept. 17 at Shoreacres Golf Club in Illinois. As Oregon’s best golfer and one of the best collegiate golfers in the country, the Ducks lean on Romero in match play. Romero recently placed 45th at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open in May which was her first LPGA event. 1 ranked Women’s and Men’s players in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. The Ducks will still bring this momentum into the rest of the fall season and they’ll use Romero as their spark going forward.
