Farah O'Keefe looking for redemption in her third ANWA attempt in 2026
Farah O'Keefe, ranked fourth in the world, is using lessons from past losses to fuel her third Augusta National Women's Amateur.
EVANS, Ga. — Over the last two years, Farah O’Keefe has steadily been improving as a golfer. Coming into her first Augusta National Women’s Amateur back in 2024, she was ranked No.
44 in the world. Two years and two top-20 finishes in the ANWA later, she’s ranked fourth coming into her third start. O’Keefe is arguably the hottest competitor in the field.
She has won the Therese Hession Regional Challenge, Darius Rucker Intercollegiate and Betsy Rawls Invitational to start off the year. A win in the ANWA would cement the junior from Texas as one of the brightest young stars in women’s golf. And to do that, she plans on channeling the lessons she has learned from the last two loses to propel her to victory.
“I'm trusting myself. I'm trusting my game,” O’Keefe said. “I feel like I have a lot of belief in what I've been working on, so I'm just going to go out there and see if my game stacks up against the best in the world, and if it happens to be my week, then it's my week.
