NEW ORLEANS – For the second time this season, Texas State's Yvonne Chamness was named the Sun Belt Conference Golfer of the Week. The senior picked up the accolade after earning runner-up honors at the Ron Moore Intercollegiate.

Chamness (67-72-68--207) posted all three rounds even or under par and brought her team-leading total to six rounds in the 60s this season. Her 9-under performance was one stroke shy of her season-best -10 posted at the season-opening Sam Golden Invitational.

The Austin, Texas, native has led TXST in two of three tournaments this season, also tying for second at the season-opener.

Chamness is coming off a 2024-25 campaign that saw her qualify for the NCAA Lubbock Regional after earning Sun Belt First-Team All-Conference and All-Tournament Team nods. She was also a WGCA All-American Scholar and CSC Academic All-District selection. On the course, she led the Bobcat lineup at eight tournaments with a team-best 73.14 stroke average. She won her first collegiate tournament at the Cardinal Challenge (March 31-April 1) and posted four top five finishes, five in the top 10 and nine in the top 20. Chamness led the team in birdies (99) and rounds at even par (393), while tying for a team-best 29 rounds of 32 counted toward the team score.

As a team, Texas State posted its best finish of the young season at the Ron Moore Intercollegiate, never falling out of the top three spots and closing the event at 11-under to tie for second in the 15-team field.

The Bobcats are back in action Oct. 19-20 when they host the annual Jim West Challenge at Kissing Tree Golf Club in San Marcos.
