RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (February 2, 2026) – Dianna Lee picked up her second top-5 finish of the season as Northwestern women's golf finished the Purdue Puerto Rico Classic in seventh place to open the spring season.
With inclement weather playing a role later in the week, the Wildcats opened play on Sunday with scores of 281 and 284 to place them in fourth after day one. Monday's final-round 294 put the finishing touches on a 54-hole score of 859 (281-284-294). Arkansas captured the team title at 23-under par while Reagan Southerland, Jiarui Chen and Abbey Schutte shared medalist honors at ten-under.
Dianna Lee opened her week with a three-under 69 in her first round before matching the Wildcats' low-round of the week with a bogey-free four-under 68 in her second round. After a final-round 73, Lee concluded her week in a share of fifth, her second consecutive top-5 finish dating back to her win at the East Lake Cup in October.
Joining Dianna Lee in red figures was Hsin Tai Lin, who paced the 'Cats in the opening round with a four-under 68 before firing back-to-back rounds of 73 to place in a share of 24th. Ashley Yun and Megan Meng placed in a tie for 44th, with the former firing a two-under 70 in her second round. Rounding out the lineup were Jiayi Wang and Lauren E. Lee as an individual, with both firing an even-par 72 on Sunday.
