Zaretsky finishes in top 10, Vodickova climbs into top 20 at Carmel Cup
August 31, 2025 | Women's Golf
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Texas Tech women's golf senior Lauren Zaretsky registered her first top-10 of the season after firing a final round 72 (E) Sunday at the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The team shared a tie for sixth with Mississippi State at 28-over-par.
Â
Zaretsky traded a birdie and a bogey on both nines en route to an even par round to share a tie for eighth place at level par for the 54-hole event. The finish was her best since last October's Jim West Challenge, where she shared a tie for second.
Â
Making a final round push eight spots up the leaderboard, Wake Forest sophomore transfer Denisa Vodickova fired a final round 1-under-par of 71. She went out with a 2-under-par front nine, carding two birdies, before dropping two shots to one birdie on the back nine. Vodickova finished in a tie for 19th with her teammate, freshman Amy Squires, who shot a final round 75.
Â
Texas A&M took the Carmel Cup at 13-under-par, going wire-to-wire. The Aggies commanded a 26-shot victory over runner-up Vanderbilt.
Â
Aggies' Cayetana Fernandez Garcia-Poggio took the individual title with a 4-under-par final round 68, where she played her final 14 holes in 5-under-par. Her 8-under-par total was enough to defeat her teammate Vanessa Borovilos and Mississippi State's Avery Weed by one shot.
Â
Texas Tech women's golf will travel to Oakmont Country Club in Corinth to compete in the Sam Golden Invitational Sept. 8-9.
