Becomes the first TCU golfer to receive the recognition

CARLSBAD, Calif. – In an emphatic close to the 2025-26 campaign, Kirstin Angosta solidified her spot among the best amateur golfers in the world.

The TCU junior carded a five-under 283 and tied for eighth at the NCAA D1 Women's Golf. Championships at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa. Angosta earned All-Tournament team honors with the performance. She is the first Horned Frog to receive the recognition.

Angosta, who concluded her prep career at Coppell High School, signed for a one-over 73 in Monday's final round.

She became the first Horned Frog to notch a top-10 at Nationals in 41 years and one of only three Frogs to ever tick the box. Marci Bozarth was the most recent Frog to achieve the feat prior to Angosta, having claimed fifth place at the 1985 NCAA National Championships.

Angosta broke TCU's NCAA National Championships program records for low round (69), low-18 vs. par (-3), low tournament total and low-72 vs. par. She also now owns the distinction of being the only TCU golfer to post a top-10 finish at Regionals and Nationals in the same season. Angosta finished as the outright runner-up at the NCAA Waco Regional on May 13.

The Las Vegas native entered the grand finale of college golf tabbed No. 177 in the latest Scoreboard rankings. Angosta was the only individual competitor ranked outside the top-100 to advance past Sunday's 54-hole cut and place inside the top 20 of the final leaderboard. She defeated 68 top-100 players, 30 of whom are featured in the top 50 of the national rankings.

Angosta tallied a tournament-leading 20 birdies over the course of the four-day affair to give herself a shot at challenging for the NCAA Championships chalice. She began the final round tied for eighth and four shots back of eventual national champion Farah O'Keefe of Texas.

Teeing off on the back nine, Angosta was plus-one after four holes after picking up a double bogey on 13. She then rattled off four birdies in a nine-hole span to get within one stroke of the nation's No. 1 ranked player at nine-under. The lone negative on the ledger on an otherwise all-time effort from Angosta was the closing sequence. She bogeyed four of her final five holes to stymie her bid for a national title.

O'Keefe secured a two-stroke victory over Stanford's Megha Ganne at 12-under 276.

Angosta secured her third straight and eighth career top-10 finish. The run at La Costa put an exclamation point on a breakthrough spring. She scored par or better in nine of her final 14 rounds played dating back to the Charles Schwab Women's Collegiate Invitational on March 24-25. Angosta's vice championship at Regionals was preceded by a 10^th-place finish and All-Tournament team nod at the Big 12 Championship. She posted a robust 70.9 scoring average across her last five starts.

TCU and Angosta now depart for the offseason. The Horned Frogs are expected to return five letter winners from their roster with players due back in August ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
