The 2026 CGA Women's Four-Ball Championship took place Wednesday and Thursday at Thorncreek Golf Course in Thornton, Colorado. The team event consists of 36 holes of Four-Ball stroke play, where two competitors play as partners, each playing their own ball, with the lower of the two scores counting as the team's score on each hole. This year's championship featured six flights with nine teams in each, competing in both Gross and Net divisions.
After opening with a 2-under-par 70 in the Gross Championship Flight, Team Colorado members Zoe Bar-Or and Addison Hines knew they could clean up a few mistakes heading into the final round. The duo adjusted their strategy, playing more conservatively off the tee whenever one partner found trouble, allowing the other to attack when the opportunity presented itself.
"If one of us was in trouble off the tee, the other one needed to be a little more conservative," Hines said. "We struggled with that on the first day. Tpday we played smarter, and then we could be more aggresive with our approach shots and putts when the opportunity was there".
The adjustments paid off as Bar-Or and Hines carded a tournament-low 64 in the final round to take control of the Gross Championship.
Following the opening round, Bar-Or and Hines led the Gross Championship Flight at 2-under-par 70, while Jolene Wong and Aiven Amella paced the Net Championship Flight with a 4-under-par 68. Leanne Cochran and Jennifer Dunsmore led the First Flight in both the Gross and Net competitions after posting rounds of even-par 72 and net 8-under-par 64, respectively.
The leaderboard after Round One was as follows:
The Championship Flight featured two standout performances, with Bar-Or and Hines claiming the Gross Championship while Amella and Wong captured the Net title after two impressive rounds.
In the Gross Division, Bar-Or and Hines—both members of the U.S. National Development Program's Team Colorado—put together the tournament's best performance. After opening with a 2 under-par 70, they came alive in the final round, turning in a tournament-low 64, finishing at 10-under par (134) to win by nine shots over Amella and Wong (143). The victory was especially meaningful for Bar-Or and Hines, who were teaming up for the first time in competition. "We've never played as a team before, so it was really cool to win our first event together" Bar-Or said."I love CGA events-they're always my favorite. To win one with my best friend is really special."
The Net Division told a different story. Amella and Wong posted matching rounds of 68-68 to finish 8-under (136), earning a two-shot victory. The victory marks another impressive performance in this event for Wong, who captured the 2025 Gross Championship with a different partner.
Cochran and Dunsmore ran away with the First Flight Gross title, opening with a 72 and following up with a 75 for a winning total of 147 (+3) — six strokes clear of the Heitzman and Joos / Leuschel and Wetzel tie for second at 153. Leuschel and Wetzel won the Net division title at 137(-7) after rounds of 69 and 68, rounds, their Day-2 back nine helping them secure that title after another tie on the leaderboard with Holmes and Rodriguez.
Ford and Kleidon took the Second Flight Gross title with a 76-81 finish for a 2-day winning total of 157 (+13), narrowly edging Bentley and Bilbao (159) by two strokes. Bentley and Bilbao answered in the Net division, posting competitive back-to-back net rounds of 68 and 67 to close at 135 (-9) and claim the Net title by three strokes over Ford and Kleidon (138).

Loveland and Yamaguchi claimed the Third Net Flight title, turning in a Day 2 net of 69 to follow their Day 1 net of 71 for a winning two-day net total of 140 (-4), beating the second-place team of Kersbergen and Vonick by three strokes.
In the Fourth flight, Evans and Nickerson overcame their Day 1 deficit to win the Gross category, turning in a Day 2 score of 82 to follow their Day 1 88 for a winning total of 170 (+26), narrowly beating the second-place team, Day 1 leaders Garcia and Liley by just one stroke. Although unable to best Evans and Nickerson in the Gross Division, Garcia and Liley did manage to win the Net category of the Fourth flight, turning in a consistent Day 2 net of 67 to follow their Day 1 67 for a winning two-day net total of 134(-10), narrowly beating the second-place team of Evans and Nickerson by one stroke.
