Cal junior Constance Fouillet fired a women’s Old Course record 9-under 63 to power the Golden Bears to a 4.5–1.5 win over Princeton and the St. Andrews Links Collegiate crown.
A Historic Round at The Home of Golf
Competing on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Fouillet delivered a round for the ages: eight birdies and an eagle on the par-5 10th added up to a 63 that sets the new women’s course record. In match play, she defeated Princeton’s Thanana Kotchasanmanee 4-up, fueled by five consecutive birdies from holes 5 through 9.
Bears Seal the Championship
Cal captured the St. Andrews Links Collegiate title with a 4.5–1.5 victory over Princeton. Junior Jasmine Kahler and freshman Michelle Woo each won 5-up, and sophomore Marie-Agnes Fischer added another point. The Bears entered the final after winning the 36-hole stroke-play portion at 5-under, finishing 19 shots clear of Princeton.
The 2025 field featured Cal, Princeton, Michigan State, and the University of St. Andrews in an intercollegiate showcase at what is widely known as “The Home of Golf.” The win is Cal’s first team title since October 2023.
