Maria Jose Marin wins the prestigious seventh annual Championship

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Vanessa Borovilos set a new record for best finish by a Canadian at the 2026 Augusta National Women’s Amateur (ANWA) in Augusta, Ga. on Saturday.

Borovilos, 19, of Etobicoke, Ont. finished the tournament T11 at 5-under following rounds of 66-73-72 in her first appearance at the ANWA. Borovilos, currently ranked No. 24 on the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) passed Lauren Kim of Surrey, B.C. and Monet Chun of Richmond Hill, Ont. who were previously tied for the best finish by a Canadian at ANWA at T14, Chun in 2023 and Kim in 2024.

Borovilos found herself one shot back of the lead following Wednesday’s opening round with a bogey free, 6-under 66. Her final round on Saturday got off to a hot start with three birdies through the first four holes before a double bogey on No. 7. Borovilos grabbed two more birdies on Nos. 12 and 15 before finishing bogey-double bogey on the final two holes to finish even par for the day and 5-under for the championship.

Aphrodite Deng, 16, of Calgary, Alta. (No. 12 WAGR) was also making her ANWA debut and recorded rounds of 72-69-73 to finish the tournament T19 at 2-under.

Lauren Kim, 20, of Surrey, B.C. (No. 14 WAGR) finished with rounds of 68-71-78 to finish alone in 30th at 1-over. Kim also set a new record for number of ANWA appearances by a Canadian, with her third this year.

Maria Jose Marin, 19, of Cali, Colombia entered the day one shot back of Asterisk Talley of Chowchilla, Calif. but fired a 4-under 68 to finish 14-under to win by four and become the first Colombian to win the ANWA.

Marin grabbed four birdies on her first nine with one bogey. She birdied No. 13 before getting into some trouble on the Par-5 15th but escaped with bogey and followed up with a birdie-par-par finish to secure the title.

Marin (No. 7 WAGR), a junior at the University of Arkansas has enjoyed a successful run since winning the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Individual title last May. In addition to collegiate honours, Marin won the South American Women’s Amateur and the Women’s Amateur Latin America title, as well as making the cut at both the U.S. Women’s Open and the Amundi Evian Championship.

Marin was making her fourth appearance at ANWA with previous finishes including a missed cut in 2025, T30 in 2024 and T14 in 2023.

With her win, Marin has earned an exemption into the next five ANWA Championships, provided she remains an amateur. In addition, she has earned exemptions into four major championships on the LPGA Tour this season including the Chevron Championship, U.S. Women’s Open, Amundi Evian Championship and the AIG Women’s Open.

Talley got off to a roaring start with three birdies from her first four holes to move to 14-under heading into the second nine. However, a score of 42 on the second nine brought her to 3-over for the day, finishing T4 at 8-under. Talley was runner-up last year, narrowly missing out of the title by one shot to Carla Bernat Escuder of Spain.

Andrea Revuelta (No.3 WAGR) of Spain finished in second at 10-under, Soomin Oh (No. 10 WAGR) of Republic of Korea finished third at 9-under. Four other golfers were tied with Talley in fourth at 8-under including Yunseo Yang (Republic of Korea), Meja Örtengren (Sweden), Raegan Denton (Australia) and World No. 1 (WAGR), Kiara Romero (United States).

The 72-player field competed over 54 holes of stroke play with a cut following the second round. The opening 36 holes were contested on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Augusta. On Friday, the full field played a practice round at Augusta National Golf Club, followed by Saturday’s final round contested at Augusta National.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Seventy-two of the world’s best women’s amateur golfers are set to compete at the seventh playing of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur (ANWA) in Augusta, Ga. later this week.

Three Canadians will be in the field with led by 16-year-old Aphrodite Deng of Calgary, Alta., 20-year-old Lauren Kim of Surrey, B.C. and 19-year-old Vanessa Borovilos of Etobicoke, Ont., setting the record for number of Canadians playing in the prestigious annual championship.

Deng is currently Canada’s lowest ranked amateur golfer on the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) at No. 11 and will be making her debut at the ANWA. Last season, Deng won the 76th U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, becoming the first Canadian to do so and earned her exemption to Augusta.

In addition, Deng won the Marlene Stewart Streit Medal as the Low Amateur at the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open, finishing T20 at 4-under. Earlier this month, Deng finished T4 at the Girls’ Junior Invitational in South Carolina.

Kim (No. 18 WAGR) will make her third appearance at the ANWA, setting the record for appearances by a Canadian. The 2023 Canadian Women’s Amateur champion is currently in her junior year at the University of Texas and has won two collegiate titles in her career – the first in her freshman year at the Jackson T Stephens Cup and last year at the Betsy Rawls Invitational. She also represented Canada at the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship last fall. This season, Kim has earned four top 10 finishes, including a runner-up finish last week at the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate Invitational and six top 25 finishes for Texas.

Borovilos (No. 25 WAGR) will also make her first appearance at the ANWA, but not in Augusta, having competed in four editions of the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals, winning the Girls 10-11 age division in 2018. She is currently in her sophomore year at Texas A&M University and won her second career collegiate title in February at the Moon Golf Invitational.
