TCU to compete for conference crown from Thursday-Saturday at Dallas Athletic Club

FORT WORTH – TCU's quest for a league title will unfold across town, as the Horned Frogs begin play at the Big 12 Championship on Thursday at Dallas Athletic Club.

Teams will play 18 holes of golf across three days, culminating with a final round on Saturday that will air on ESPN+. The top 10 individuals including ties earn All-Big 12 Championship Team honors at the conclusion of the stroke play affair.

The Horned Frogs are seeded 10^th in a 14-team event comprised exclusively of top-100 programs and will tee off on hole 10 on Thursday alongside Colorado and Texas Tech.

TCU is rolling with a lineup of Camille Min-Gaultier, Kirstin Angosta, Gracie McGovern, Sofie Dimitrova and Sofia Barroso Sá. Yvette O'Brien will serve as an alternate.

Min-Gaultier, the 2025 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, enters the conference's flagship event as the Big 12's third highest-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings. She was tabbed 64^th in the latest update and has ascended as high as No. 41 in the Scoreboard rankings this season. From southern France, Min-Gaultier held a share of the individual lead after 36 holes at the 2025 Big 12 Championship, posting a two-under 140 over two rounds at The Clubs at Houston Oaks.

Barroso Sá has a proven track record of success in conference Championship action and at Dallas Athletic Club. She shot a one-over 217 on the Blue Course at Dallas Athletic Club to tie for sixth at the 2023 Big 12 Championship her freshman year. Barroso Sá picked up her second set of All-Championship Team accolades in last season's league finale, leading the field with 46 pars and tying for 10^th (+5, 218).

TCU shot a 12-over 876 at Dallas Athletic Club in 2023 to tie for third, its best finish in a conference championship in the last decade.

The Horned Frogs fell one stroke short of winning the 2025 Big 12 Championship after seeing a two-shot lead through 14 holes evaporate.

TCU has won five conference championships in its history, most recently in 2012, when it claimed the crown in its final season in the Mountain West Conference. The Horned Frogs have finished first or second in 14 of their last 27 conference tournaments covering four different leagues (WAC, Conference USA, Mountain West and Big 12) dating back to 1999.

Saturday's final round will be televised on ESPN+.
