COLUMBIA, Mo. (June 17, 2026) – Windy conditions greeted competitors during the final round of the 96th Missouri Women’s Amateur Championship, 16th Missouri Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship and 34th Missouri Women’s Senior Amateur Championship at Columbia Country Club. Players began from both the No. 1 and No. 10 tees to complete play ahead of forecasted afternoon storms, and the challenging winds created difficult scoring conditions throughout the day. After a windy day of competition, champions were crowned across Missouri Golf’s premier women’s championships.
Women’s Amateur Championship
Mia Rallo of Wentzville captured the 96th Missouri Women’s Amateur Championship after finishing with a three-round total of 6-over-par 219. Rallo entered the final round holding a one-shot lead and successfully held off a late charge from Addie Dobson of Jacksonville to secure the title by a single stroke.
Rallo’s championship was highlighted by a second-round 3-under-par 68, the low round of the championship. Her consistency throughout the week proved to be the difference as she became the latest player to add her name to the list of Missouri Women’s Amateur champions.
Dobson posted the low round of the final day, a 1-under-par 70, and climbed into second place with a three-day total of 220. Audrey Rischer of Columbia finished third at 222.
With the victory, Rallo earns an exemption into the 2026 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship.
Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship
Mindy Coyle of Columbia successfully defended her Missouri Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship title, finishing with a three-round total of 15-over-par 228.
After carrying a four-shot lead into the final round, Coyle closed with her best round of the championship, a 3-over-par 74, to extend her advantage and secure a nine-stroke victory. Coyle was the only player in the division to break 80 in all three rounds.
Kallie Harrison of Saint Louis finished runner-up at 237, while former champion Carmen Titus of Greenwood placed third at 250.
Women’s Senior Amateur Championship
Martha Linscott of Mission Hills claimed the Missouri Women’s Senior Amateur Championship after an impressive week that saw her improve her score each day of the tournament.
Linscott opened with a 78 before following with rounds of 73 and an even-par 71 in the final round, the lowest round recorded in the division during the championship. Her three-round total of 222 gave her a 13-stroke victory.
Defending champion Christie Blasi of Ozark finished second at 235, while Pam Simpson of Kansas City rounded out the top three at 249.
