Live Scoring
UCLA shot +6, 290 in the second round, dropping one spot behind champion Nihon University (-3, 565). The Bruins led the two other NCAA Division I programs in the 12-team field featuring universities from around the globe. SMU (+18, 586) and Hawai'i (+20, 588) placed seventh and eighth place, respectively. UCLA's performance against both the Mustangs and Rainbow Wahine will count towards the team's head-to-head record, which is used to determine postseason eligibility.
Huang (-5; 66-71) shot an even-par 71 in the second round to rise one spot into a tie for first place with Shio Chaki (Meiji University) and Nagi Kuramochi (Nihon University) at -5 for the tournament. Chaki won the tiebreaker among the three first-place finishers with the lowest 18-hole score in the final round, shooting -3, 68. As a result, Chaki earned an exemption to compete in the JLPGA's Nobuta Group Masters GC Ladies tournament, scheduled to be held at Masters Golf Club in Hyogo, Japan from Oct. 23-26, 2025.
Huang led the 15 competitors from UCLA, SMU and Hawai'i. The next-closest NCAA golfer was Huang's teammate, Angela Liu (E, T-11th). Huang was the only Bruin and one of 20 golfers in the 65-player field to shoot even par or better in the second round.
Liu (E, T-11th) finished just outside the top 10 after recording two birdies and three bogeys to shoot +1, 72 in her second round in Japan. Senior Meghan Royal signed off on another +1, 72 and for a T-16th result at +2.
