Carlsbad, CA - “Welcome to the club.”

These are the congratulations from LPGA and Arkansas legend Stacy Lewis to current Razorbacks sophomore Maria Jose Marin, who defeated the star-studded stadium at Omni La Costa on Monday night to become the program's third NCAA women's champion and join Lewis and Maria Fassi.

When Lewis won the national championship in 2007, Marin was still a newborn. Twelve years later, Fassey won before a family crowd at the Blessings Golf Club in Fayetteville, Arkansas, back to Cali - Columbia instead of California - almost teenage Marin, also an avid swimmer and ballet dancer, was inspired. Maybe she will be like Fassi one day.

A few years later, when Marin opened up the recruitment, her first call was Arkansas head coach Shauna Estes-Taylor. Unfamiliar with the process, Marin and her family initially thought it was a prank. Marin recalled: “Estes-Taylor ended the conversation, “Remember, I was the first to call. ”

Estes-Taylor saw a high-named girl at the time, whose character and smile surpassed Marin's 5-foot frame. She has no fascia power, but she makes up for the average length with precision and durability.

“There is ice in her veins, too,” Estes-Taylor added.

Still doing so.

Marin, who was just one game ahead of Stanford’s Paula Martin Sampedro in his final round Monday, is a top 10 college player whose cardinal is planning a record stroke performance, ending Sunday night with a low of 72 holes in championship history and a low of 72 holes in championship history at the 27-year-old, a former USC pre-2013 store of the 2013 reader. Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad are two amateurs in the world, Catherine Park at USC, Kelly Xu at Stanford; All the all-americans eager to chase Marlin, the talented ball hits the wear pattern on her iron, which will make any player jealous.

Arkansas sophomore shot with pole in every game of La Costa’s first seven careers, and she tried her best to stop the opposition. But even Marin's cold blood vessels, which she said she inherited from her father Jose, was fired on the last day.

"It's disturbing, I won't lie," Marin said. "It's hard not to look at those rankings. I played really well, but it's a big win. I'm trying to trust every shot. I trust myself, I trust my golf so I know a good grade will come out.

Marin, from 15 feet, will never give up on her solo advantage. She slid down, but once, missed the short man at No. 13 and chose to make others make expensive mistakes.

Sampedro has combed out only one bird.

Of the four birdies in the previous five holes, WOAD ranked first in 4-4.

Xu also got a double for shock and electric doubles on the back nine of 16-16-16-15-9.

Park with back-to-back bogey closed.

Ting had two bogeys on the front line, but could be the Annika Award winner who won five times this season and played with Marin and Park on Monday, becoming Marin’s biggest threat in the last nine games. She made five holes, including 5-18 shots, hitting 68 under 68 and ending with a 10-shot score. After Estes-Taylor finally told Marin that she was standing in the middle of the 18th fairway, Marin also ended with Birdie, her 15-foot-high polish was below the eighth straight here, and her eighth victory was scored here with a score of 12.

"I know I have the ability to do great rounds," Marin said.

Meanwhile, Arkansas is a team sixth-ranked team that will face the Northwest in the quarterfinals Tuesday morning, which includes Stanford-Virginia, Oregon-Texas and Florida State. Marin will face Hsin Tai Lin in the anchor race, just as Estes-Taylor wants her physical and emotional leader. Arguably, it's the deepest team Taylor has ever had, but they are still led by superstars.

At the start of the second freshman year, Marin beat that time. 1 Amateur Julia Lopez Ramirez filmed Arkansas home game on three strokes. She ended her freshman campaign with several runners and top 10 in the region and nationality. She seemed ready to explode further in the American women’s amateurs last summer, even though her injured left knee forced her to lose her semifinals.

Fortunately, there was no structural damage, only swelling, while Marin, with a new appreciation for post-recovery, started the injury at Pebble Beach last fall with minimal impact, this time with a six-game victory for Lopez Ramirez. Of course, Marin is once again in the top 30 in the SEC Championship, but she is also recognized as the SEC Player of the Year.

"She works very hard and she deserves it," Estes Taylor said. "She has been in the work and I'm really happy for her. I know she's a little calm in the middle of the spring, but she keeps working hard and puts herself in one place today.

“If she had the lead, she would have a hard time chasing.”

Marin proved it on the NCAA’s biggest stage on Monday and on its biggest star – as a result, her name was engraved in history along with Lewis and Fassi. Although the win enjoyment of these two options is likely not celebrated: a chocolate chip cookie skillet topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle and potato chips.

If only that 12-year-old Marin could see herself.
