The Women’s Golf Coaches Association had two Razorbacks on its All-America list this week, and neither one was a first-timer.
Maria Jose Marin and Reagan Zibilski both picked up national recognition Tuesday.
They’re now the 24th and 25th WGCA All-America selections in Arkansas women’s golf history.
Marin landed on the first team for the third year in a row. It wasn’t a surprise.
The junior from Cali, Colombia put together one of the best individual seasons in college golf this year, finishing inside the top 10 in 11 of her 12 tournaments.
That stretch included two runner-up finishes and a win at the Clemson Invitational in March.
She also closed out the NCAA Championship with a T5 result and two match play wins. By season’s end, Marin’s stroke average stood at 70.02, which led the whole Arkansas squad.
Marin’s record-breaking year goes well beyond the fairway
Her most talked-about moment came earlier this year when she won the 2026 Augusta National Women’s Amateur with a record score of 14-under par.
The field included 75 of the world’s top female amateur golfers. That win made her the first Razorback, first SEC golfer and first South American to take the title.
The ANWA victory came with some big perks. Marin earned spots in this week’s U.S. Women’s Open, the 2026 Evian Championship and the 2026 Women’s Open.
She’s also ranked No. 2 in the Scoreboard by Clippd national player rankings and spent a lot of the season at the top spot.
She led the country in individual head-to-head wins at a .958 mark and recently broke the program record for career rounds at or below par with 72.
The honors didn’t stop there. Marin’s 2026 season also included a First Team All-SEC placement, a finalist nod for the ANNIKA Award and a spot representing Team International at this summer’s Arnold Palmer Cup.
Zibilski ends Razorback career with another All-America nod
Zibilski grabbed honorable mention for the second straight year. The senior from Springfield, Mo. wrapped up a solid final season with seven top-10 finishes.
Her T8 at the NCAA Championship last week helped the Hogs reach their first semifinal in program history.
She finished the year ranked No. 31 nationally and No. 11 in the SEC in the Scoreboard by Clippd rankings.
Her stroke average came in at 71.8, second-best on the team. She played every one of Arkansas’ 37 rounds and went 822-170-36 in head-to-head match play.
In April, she made the cut at Augusta National Women’s Amateur in her first try and finished 10th at 6-under.
Last month, she earned Second Team All-SEC honors and was named the Razorbacks’ female nominee for the SEC Brad Davis Community Service Award.
Zibilski won’t be in college golf much longer.
She’s set to turn professional on the Epson Tour later this month after earning status through the LPGA Collegiate Advancement Pathway program.
