Women’s Golf Tied for Ninth After First Round of Folds of Honor Collegiate

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — The Arizona women’s golf team opened the 2025-26 season at the Folds of Honor Collegiate on Monday with Nena Wongthanavimok leading the Wildcats at 2-over-par 74. Arizona sits in a tie for ninth place at 16-over, but is just seven shots out of the top five. 

Wongthanavimok carded birdies on the par-4 first and par-3 fourth holes, turning in an even-par 37 on the front before finishing with a matching 37 on the back nine.

Julia Misemer and Charlotte Back each posted rounds of 75 to sit one shot behind Wongthanavimok. Misemer rebounded from a double bogey at the par-4 second with birdies at Nos. 7 and 14, closing with an even-par 36 on the inward nine. Back played steady golf on the front with a 36 that included a birdie at the short par-3 fourth.

Angela Arora signed for an 80 after an up-and-down round that featured a birdie on the par-4 10th but bogeys on four of her final six holes. Sara Vitasek rounded out the lineup with an 81 that included a birdie at the par-4 seventh.

The Wildcats are the defending champions at this event after capturing the title in head coach Giovana Maymon‘s first tournament as head coach.
