CHULA VISTA, Calif. – University of Texas senior Sophia Schubert on Sunday became the third golfer in program history and first since 1996 to win the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. Schubert accomplished the feat with a 6 and 5 victory in the 36-hole finale against Albane Valenzuela of Switzerland, who entered the event as the No. 3-ranked golfer in the current Women's World Amateur Rankings, at the San Diego Country Club in Chula Vista, Calif.
Schubert, an Oak Ridge, Tenn., native, is the first Texas golfer to win the event since Kelli Kuehne captured both the 1995 and 1996 events.
