April 25, 2023 | Women's Golf
NORMAN, Okla. – Mississippi State sophomore Julia Lopez Ramirez has been selected to represent the International Team for the second straight year in the 2023 Palmer Cup. The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced the teams Tuesday in conjunction with the Golf Channel.
The top six golfers from the final ranking from both the United States and International men and women are among the individuals selected to compete in the Palmer Cup. Longtime Arnold Palmer partner Rolex is continuing its 50-plus year relationship through its support of the matches, which will be hosted by Laurel Valley Golf Club in Ligonier, Pa., June 8-10.Â
International team ranking qualifiers included Julia Lopez Ramirez (Mississippi State; Spain), Charlotte Heath (Florida State; England), Mirabel Ting (Augusta; Malaysia), Maddison Hinson-Tolchard (Oklahoma State; Australia), Karisa Chul-Ak-Sorn (Iowa State; Thailand), and Carla Bernat (Tulane; Spain) for the women.
Lopez Ramirez's selection for the Palmer Cup is a significant accomplishment and a testament to her hard work and skill as a golfer. Being selected for the Palmer Cup is a huge honor and speaks to Julia's standing as one of the top collegiate golfers in the world. As a member of the International Team, Julia will have the opportunity to compete against some of the best golfers in the world, gain valuable experience, and showcase her talents on a global stage. Her selection for the Palmer Cup is a great honor for both her and Mississippi State University.
Julia Lopez Ramirez competed in the 2022 Arnold Palmer Cup over the July Fourth Holiday Weekend last summer. Throughout the three-day event, Lopez Ramirez delivered in some key moments to aid Team International to a 33-27 victory. In the opening round, the United States won the first two matches, but three demanding victories helped Team International settle in. One of those wins came from the duo of Julia Lopez Ramirez/Mateo Fernández de Oliveira when they halved the 18th hole to secure a 1-up victory they grabbed on 17. In Sunday's final round, Lopez Ramirez carded Team International's first of 13 singles victories on the day. The 2022 SEC Freshman of the Year birdied five holes, including 4-6, to defeat Brooke Seay 4 & 3 in 15 holes.
Since its inception, over 125 former Arnold Palmer Cup alumni have gone on to earn cards on the PGA, DP World, or LPGA Tours; 34 have represented Europe or the USA in the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, or Solheim Cup and more than 75 have claimed over 315 victories on the PGA, DP World, or LPGA Tours, including 2022 major champions Jennifer Kupcho (The Chevron Championship) and Justin Thomas (PGA Championship). The United States leads the Palmer Cup series 13-12-1.
