CARLSBAD, Calif. — The men’s individual national champion has been crowned, which means one thing: it’s time for match play at the 2026 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship.

Auburn finished first after stroke play while Oklahoma State junior Preston Stout became the school’s 10th NCAA individual champion, beating Alabama’s William Jennings by a shot. In addition, there was a 4-for-2 playoff for the final match play spots.

A reminder: Oklahoma State in 2018 is the only No. 1 seed after stroke play to go on and win the title in match play.

The quarterfinals are set to begin on Tuesday morning and the semifinals to follow in the afternoon. On Wednesday, it’ll be the final. (Note: all times ET, which is three hours ahead of Carlsbad).
