Australian clams PNGA Women’s Am

Raegan Denton of Adelaide, Australia, defeated Gabriella Kano of Fullerton, Calif., 5 and 3, in the final match to win the 124th PNGA Women’s Amateur Championship, held at the OGA Golf Course in Woodburn, Ore. The championship was administered by the Pacific Northwest Golf Association.

Denton was the medalist after the two rounds of stroke-play qualifying earlier in the week, and was the No. 1 seed in the match-play bracket. Kano was the No. 3 seed in the bracket. The PNGA Women’s Amateur is a USGA Exemption Event, and with her win today, Denton has earned a spot in the 2026 U.S. Women’s Amateur. Because of her being in the top 50 in the WAGR ranking, she had earned an exemption already, but the title sealed the entry for her.
