Jenny Bae, Georgia
Bae, the fifth-year senior, won the Athens regional on Georgia’s home course and also lost on the second playoff hole against Zhang at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. She has eight top-10 finishes this year, but she has been playing strong as of late.

Julia Lopez Ramirez, Mississippi State
The sophomore at Mississippi State won the SEC Championship and the NCAA Westfield Regional. In addition to her victory at the Blessings Collegiate earlier this year, she has added eight top-5 finishes. Lopez Ramirez has been a catalyst all season, and she could be one of the few golfers who could challenge Zhang.
Rachel Kuehn, Wake Forest
The back-to-back ACC Player of the Year has two victories this year, and she should be one of the favorites to challenge for the individual title. However, Kuehn struggled at Grayhawk last year, but don’t expect those struggles to carry over this time around.
