Match in the Desert – January 22 (Gold Canyon, AZ)
The Sun Devils will make their first appearance in the state of Arizona when they travel to Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club for the Match in the Desert. Arizona State will enter the event having won four of the past five titles. This will be the first opportunity for fans to check out the Maroon & Gold in action. Kansas will host for the third consecutive year, with the tournament taking place on one day. In the 2023 version, Arizona State (-11/277) overcame cold weather and a frost delay, maintaining their focus on their way to delivering a spectacular round in their home state. Ashley Menne birdied her first hole which set the tone for what would become an eight-birdie round, matching a career-low 65 (-7) in the process. She was named Co-Champion of the event after finishing tied with UCLA's Caroline Canales. Arizona State matched the sixth-lowest team score vs. par in program history on their way to a second-place finish at the Match in the Desert. The 277 (-11) was just one stroke shy of eventual team champion UCLA, as ASU finished ahead of Top-25 teams Baylor and Arizona.
