WHAT'S NEXT: Boise State hosts Idaho for the State of Idaho Match on Thursday, April 2. The Broncos and Vandals will play at Warm Springs Golf Course in Boise, Idaho, beginning at 10 a.m.
Â
THE FORMAT: The event will feature 27 holes, split into three scoring formats, nine holes each. Each team will have pairings competing against a duo from the other team. Holes 1-9 will be Alternate Shot with a teammate, followed by Four-Ball for holes 10-18. In four-ball, each player plays their own ball out for the entirety of the hole for best ball scoring. Holes 19-27 will be Singles, with each player in their own match. Each match is worth one point and a match that is tied will be worth half a point. Matches will play out the entirety of the nine holes and the tiebreaker will go to the team with the most individual holes won.
Â
LAST TIME OUT: The Broncos finished eighth at the Betsy Rawls Invitational in Austin, carding a team score of 947 (+83) after battling harsh conditions in the two-day tournament. Teal Matsueda tied for 18th at 230 (+14), her fifth top-25 finish of the season. Jillian Hui had Boise State's top round, firing a 73 (+1) on the final day.
Â
BACK LIKE SHE NEVER LEFT: Chung, a two-time Mountain West Women's Golfer of the Week and the program's all-time leader in career scoring average, returned to competition at the Golfweek Fall Challenge after missing the 2024-25 season due to injury. She won the tournament, setting program and tournament records for a 54-hole score (199, -14). Chung finished nine strokes ahead of the field, tying the largest margin of victory in program history, set by Acey Erlandson in 1999.
Â
TWO TITLES: Chung also captured the individual title at the New Mexico Golf Iconic Classic, firing a 207 (-9) and leading the Broncos to the team crown (851, -12). Boise State's team score was the second-best in school history and its 18-hole (276, -12) and 36-hole (561, -15) scores are the lowest in program history. Chung has three individual titles in her career, one shy of Samantha Martin's school record.
Â
YEAR FIVE AT THE HELM: Head coach Kailin Downs is in her fifth season leading the Broncos. Through five fall tournaments, the team's scoring average was 292.67, the lowest in program history. In 2024, she guided the team to the second-lowest scoring average in program history (296.74) and set school records for lowest 36-hole score (566, -10) and lowest 54-hole score (846, -18). Downs recently signed a two-year contract extension, keeping her with the program through the 2028 season.
Â
ALL-CONFERENCE RETURNER: Matsueda earned All-MW Second Team honors for the 2024-25 season, becoming the first Bronco since 2018-19 to receive all-conference recognition.
Â
IN THE RECORD BOOK: Several players are featured prominently in the Boise State record book. Chung holds the second, fourth, and seventh-lowest individual 36-hole scores in program history while Jillian Hui is tied for fourth and Matsueda is tied for sixth. Chung's season average of 71.50 is the second-best in school history and Matsueda's average of 74.21 ranks eighth. Chung (73.03) and Matsueda (73.68) hold the top-two career scoring averages in program history, while Hui (75.59) is tied for sixth. Chung holds four of the top-six 36-hole scores in program history, with Hui (2), Matsueda (1) and Brooke Patterson (1) each recording at least one score in the top-10. Chung also boasts six of the top-nine 54-hole scores in school history, with Hui and Patterson tying for the fourth-best mark.
