CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (June 19, 2025) – Reagan Zibilski (Springfield) capped off a dominant week at Dalhousie Golf Club with a course record-tying 8-under-par 64 today to win the 95th Missouri Women’s Amateur Championship by 12 strokes.
The rising senior at the University of Arkansas finished with a three-day total of 16-under-par 200, highlighted by 18 birdies, 34 pars and just two bogeys across 54 holes. Her final round included nine birdies, one bogey, and an electric back nine featuring five birdies—four of them in a row on holes 13 through 16.
“I just came in knowing that I would be in contention to win but also not getting too far ahead of myself,” said Zibilski. “I took it shot for shot and one hole at a time, and it worked out pretty well.”
Zibilski’s only bogey of the day came on the par-5 seventh, a hole that proved difficult for much of the field throughout the tournament. She went bogey-free on the back nine all three days.
With the win, Zibilski earns an exemption into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, set to be held at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon. It will be her fourth appearance in the event.
“I’m so excited,” Zibilski said. “Every year you kind of gain a little confidence and you know that you belong there. Anytime you can shoot a low number like that, it pays dividends going down the road from a confidence standpoint.”
Finishing in solo second at 4-under-par 212 was 14-year-old Anna Bell (Poplar Bluff), who delivered a composed and consistent performance on her home course. Bell, the 2025 Missouri Junior Match Play Champion, fired rounds of 71-71-70, going bogey-free on the front nine today and adding three birdies and an eagle on the par-5 15th.
Tied for third at even-par 216 were Lyla Louderbaugh (Buffalo) and Bailey Burkett (Kansas City). Louderbaugh, a rising junior at the University of Kansas, closed with an even-par 72 and posted a bogey-free back nine with two birdies. Burkett, a rising sophomore at the University of Louisville, followed her second-round 69 with a steady 73 that featured two birdies.
Rounding out the top five were Tierney Baumstark (Columbia), who finished at 2-over 218 after a final-round 75, and Audrey Rischer (Columbia), who posted a 74 to finish at 7-over 223.
The Missouri Golf Association extends its sincere thanks to Dalhousie Golf Club for hosting the championship and to all the players who competed throughout the week. Congratulations to Reagan Zibilski and the entire field for an outstanding showing at the 95th Missouri Women’s Amateur.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Two familiar names sit atop the leaderboard after Tuesday’s opening round of the 95th Missouri Women’s Amateur Championship at Dalhousie Golf Club: Reagan Zibilski (Springfield) and Lyla Louderbaugh (Buffalo) each carded a 3-under-par 69 to take the early lead.
This year marks the first time Dalhousie has hosted the Missouri Women’s Amateur. The course challenged the field of 53 players, but only four competitors managed to post under-par rounds on the par-72 layout.
Zibilski, ranked No. 97 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR), turned in a bogey-free round with three birdies. The rising University of Arkansas senior and 2024 MGA Co-Player of the Year finished as runner-up in last year’s championship and is seeking her first Missouri Women’s Amateur title.
Louderbaugh, also a 2024 runner-up and a rising junior at the University of Kansas, got off to a strong start with three birdies on the front nine. She added one more on the back to offset a single bogey and match Zibilski’s 69.
Just one shot behind is Tierney Baumstark (Columbia), who fired a 2-under 70. A rising junior at Missouri State University, Baumstark recorded six birdies on the day, including four on the front nine.
Fourteen-year-old Anna Bell (Poplar Bluff) continued her strong summer with a 1-under 71 to sit in solo fourth. The youngest player in the field and the recent winner of the Missouri Junior Match Play Championship, Bell just entered the WAGR rankings this week. She is also competing on her home course at Dalhousie.
Audrey Rischer (Columbia), Avery McLaughlin (Town and Country), and Hillary Currier (Olathe) are tied for fifth at even-par 72.
Second-round play continues tomorrow, with tee times beginning at 8 a.m.
