Zoe Campos of UCLA captured her second consecutive tournament and helped the Bruins finish third as Northwestern claimed the team title in the Chevron Silverado Showdown on the North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa.
Campos, a sophomore from Valencia who is ranked No. 11 in the nation, earned an exemption into the LPGA Tour’s Chevron Championship with the victory, and was selected as the Pacific 12 Conference’s Women’s Golfer of the week.
“Obviously, coming into the final round with the lead, I think I really just wanted to stay up there and just continue with what I was doing the whole week,” said Campos, who won the Anuenue Spring Break Classic at Ka’anapali Golf Course at Maui, Hawaii, in her previous start. “I really just didn’t want to play super aggressive. I just wanted to be steady throughout the whole day.
“I really just wanted to focus on every shot. I wasn’t really thinking about winning. I think just playing my game, which is just super important. In the end, I did get the win, which is really nice. I’m definitely super happy.”
Campos posted a score of 67-73-71—211, five-under-par, while Catherine Park of USC shot 70-71-73—214 to tie for second with Diana Lee of Northwestern, who finished at 76-69-69—214, and Hailee Cooper of Texas A&M, who wound up at 70-72-72—214.
The victory made Campos the first multiple winner in one season for UCLA since 2018-19, when Patty Tavatanakit won three times, while Mariel Galdiano and Beth Wu both claimed two victories.
“I’m just really proud of Zoe,” UCLA Coach Carrie Forsyth said. “She’s really playing some great golf right now. She’s been knocking on the door of wins for a while. It’s just really nice to see her get it done.
“Zoe lives and breathes golf. Golf is life for her. She really wants to play at the next level. She prioritizes her game. She’s an incredible player. It’s fun to have her on the team. It’s great to have her as a teammate.”
Jieni Li of Northwestern was fifth at 68-74-75—217, followed by Grace Summerhays of Arizona State at 74-73-71—218, and Caroline Canales of UCLA at 75-74-70—219.
