GOLF, Ill. — The Columbia women's golf team shot its lowest round in program history on Tuesday at the Windy City Collegiate Classic. Competing at Glen View Club alongside many of the nation's top-ranked programs, the Lions concluded the tournament by carding a team round of 2-under-par 286. It is both a new 18-hole program scoring record and a new 18-hole record in relation to par.
 
Tuesday's record round belongs to sophomore Christine Chang, sophomore Sarah Shao, first year Camille Thai, first year Kristina Xu and first year Bridget Chantharath. Chang led the way with a final-round 3-under-par 69, while Shao and Thai posted 1-under 71s, and Xu and Chantharath shot 3-over 75s.
 
The tournament featured a stacked 11-team field, which included Columbia, host Northwestern, Augusta, Duke, Illinois, Iowa State, Michigan State, Purdue, SMU, Stanford and UCLA. Tournament host Northwestern won the 2025 NCAA Women's Golf Championship. Nearly all of those teams finished in the Top 50 of the final 2025 NCAA Division I rankings, including No. 1 Stanford and No. 10 Northwestern.
 
With her final-round 69, Chang finished tied for 25th individually at 2-over for the tournament. Tuesday's round was an impressive bogey-free performance with birdies at the par-5 sixth, par-3 11th and par-5 15th. The 69 matched her lowest collegiate round.
 
Columbia finished 10th on the team leaderboard but posted the third-best round on Tuesday – only tournament champion Duke (-7) and Iowa State (-3) were better. The Lions were +23 for the tournament.
 
Columbia concludes its fall schedule this Saturday and Sunday at the Princeton Invitational. The tournament will be held at Springdale Golf Club in Princeton, New Jersey.
