May 10, 2026 | Cowgirl Golf
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Oklahoma State women's golf team travels to North Carolina on Monday for the Chapel Hill Regional, looking to clinch its sixth-straight trip to the NCAA Championship.
The Finley Golf Club, home to the University of North Carolina's golf teams, hosts the event. Featuring a par-70, 6,177-yard course, the club earned Golf Inc.'s "Best Renovation" award and Golf Digest's "Best Transformation" distinction in 2024 after a $13.5 million remodeling the year prior.
Oklahoma State enters as the tournament's No. 4 seed. Last time out, the Cowgirls tied for fourth place at the Big 12 Championship, with Ellie Bushnell, Marta Silchenko and Summer Lee each earning All-Tournament Team honors. OSU enters postseason play with a 104-39-1 (.726) overall record, three tournament wins, five top-3 finishes and eight top-5 placements through 11 events.
Format:
The NCAA Chapel Hill Regional is a 54-hole stroke-play tournament composed of three 18-hole rounds, with one round played each day, Monday-Wednesday. Each of the 12 teams will bring five golfers, with the top four scores counting toward daily totals.
Oklahoma State will be paired with No. 5 seed Kent State and No. 6 Virginia.

The Cowgirl Lineup
+ Round One Tee Times (CDT)
Of the five Cowgirls in head coach Annie Young's lineup this week, four also played for OSU in last year's NCAA Regional.
In 2025, Oklahoma State placed third at the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional to secure its spot in the national championship for the fifth year in a row.
Marta Silchenko fills OSU's No. 1 spot for the sixth consecutive event. Silchenko was one of three Cowgirls to earn a top-10 finish at last year's regional, tying for eighth at even-par. A 2026 First Team All-Big 12 selection, Silchenko has finished top-10 in each of her last five tournaments.
Yu-Chu Chen will make her postseason debut in OSU's No. 2 spot. The true freshman has posted a 73.71 (+2.2) stroke average this season, third-best on the team.
Summer Lee is the Cowgirls' No. 3 golfer. The sophomore from Plano, Texas, tied for 12th last time out at the Big 12 Championship to earn All-Tournament Team honors.
Ellie Bushnell, who tied for sixth at last year's regional, will play as OSU's No. 4 golfer. Bushnell earned Second Team All-Big 12 recognition last week and was the Cowgirls' highest finisher at the Big 12 Championship (T-5).
Sophomore Tarapath Panya rounds out the lineup in the No. 5 spot.
On the Hunt
Multiple Cowgirls are within striking distance of significant milestones entering this week.
In the first round of the Big 12 Championship, Ellie Bushnell joined an elite club of Cowgirls to card 100 birdies in a season. Now sitting at 109, Bushnell is 30 short of tying Maja Stark's single-season OSU record.
Marta Silchenko is just 12 birdies away from joining Bushnell in the triple digits, with 88.
With top-10 finishes in each of her last five events, another such effort from Silchenko this week would tie Grace Kilcrease (2024-25) and Isabella Fierro (2020-21) for the longest top-10 streak this decade (6).
Silchenko is also two rounds at par-or-better short of 40 for her career.
