In May at Omni La Costa in Southern California, Northwestern became the third consecutive women’s college team to win the NCAA DI Championship with players using Clippd. The Wildcats clinched a first national championship in program history by beating Stanford, another Clippd team, in the final.

Stanford, which currently boasts five players in the top-20 of the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR), was the undisputed No.1 team of the season. The Cardinal recorded nine wins, including an NCAA Regional, in the course of going the entire campaign unbeaten in stroke play competition. 

Demi Runas, Assistant Coach at Stanford, said: “[Clippd] takes everything into account. It takes out the emotion and gives a really insightful way to look at each shot and each round so that you can see how you're playing in that particular moment.”

In the same week that Northwestern’s women’s golf team made history, Maria Jose Marin, a sophomore at Arkansas who has been using Clippd for two years, won the NCAA DI Individual title. The Colombian held off the No.1 ranked player in college golf, Mirabel Ting of Florida State, another Clippd user, in the final round.

“I used to not look at stats when I finished my rounds,” said Marin, who is currently ranked #5 by WAGR. “That's one of the biggest changes that I've made. I do look now to see what I need to work on. One of the things Clippd marks is that I need to improve my putting. I really do think it has helped me and is still helping me.”

The Oklahoma State men’s team began using Clippd at the start of the 2024/25 season. They ended it with a record 12th NCAA DI Championship trophy sitting on the sideboard at Karsten Creek. Coach Alan Bradley’s Cowboys team beat Virginia in the final at Omni La Costa to record a sixth tournament victory of the campaign. 

Clippd user Pichakson Maichon of Texas A&M finished second overall in the men’s individual championship, too. Aggies Head Coach Brian Kortan shared that his players engage with Clippd due to its simplicity in data entry. As a result, they input their stats for qualifying and tournament rounds. 

“Clippd helps provide evidence-based coaching,” said Coach Kortan, “which is particularly valuable for the current generation who want to understand the ‘why’ behind instruction.”

“There are a lot of things that Clippd has done to make the players more aware of how to learn and how to learn quicker”

The run of team victories, which totalled over 200 in college competition, gathered pace during the April and May championship season. Four of the six NCAA DI Women’s Regionals were won by Clippd teams, while Emory Women were also victorious in the DIII National Championship, where Carys Code, an Eagles team member, also won the individual title. 

“There are a lot of things that Clippd has done to make the players more aware of how to learn and how to learn quicker,” said Emory Head Coach Liz Fernandes. “With the trending and what they can see from their last event or even their last round, they are really able to maximize their practice time.”

The wins continued to come after the climax of the college season with Stanford’s Paula Martin Sampredo winning the 122nd Women’s British Amateur Championship at Nairn in Scotland. The No.2 ranked player in WAGR explained that Clippd helps her to identify the areas of her game to focus on. 

“It’s been super helpful to me – 100%,” said the Spanish standout, who went on to claim the European Ladies Amateur Championship in Frankfurt, Germany and the Amateur Trophy at the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl, the final professional major of the women’s season.

In June, Clippd user Ethan Fang of Oklahoma State won the 130th Amateur Championship at Royal St George’s, becoming the first American since 2007 to lift the historic trophy. Fang prevailed in a tightly-contested 36-hole final and in doing so booked his place at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush and the 2026 Masters Tournament. 

Earning medalist honors for leading the stroke play section of the championship for the second year in a row was Scotland’s Connor Graham, who uses Clippd at Texas Tech.

In late July at Bandon Dunes in Oregon, 35% of the 156-strong field for the Women’s U.S. Amateur Championship were Clippd users, including the eventual champion, Stanford’s Megha Ganne. The match play specialist, who has been using the app for two seasons, beat another Clippd user, Brooke Biermann of Michigan State, in the 36-hole final. 

Stanford Assistant Coach Demi Runas, who was at Bandon Dunes to support Ganne, added: “The players truly appreciate the efficiency and the functionality of the [data] capture process. It’s definitely something that got a lot of positive feedback. To have that take 10 minutes versus 30 minutes makes everything a lot more efficient.”

At the 125th U.S. Amateur Championship at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, a Clippd user grabbed the headlines with an exhilarating run to the semi-final. Local player Niall Shiels Donegan, who has logged more than 300 activities in Clippd, was cheered on by a huge and vocal following as he made the final four, a feat matched by Eric Lee, who uses Clippd at Oklahoma State. 

Finally, winning U.S. Amateur medalist honors at Olympic was another Oklahoma State Cowboy and Clippd user, Preston Stout. The Texas native shot an eight-under-par 36-hole total to claim the No.1 seeding in match play.
