S-12: Winner of 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur

The Kansas State senior All-American will make her U.S. Women's Open debut after posting a one-stroke win at the 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur in April. Bernat Escuder held off 2024 U.S. Women's Open co-low amateur Asterisk Talley for her biggest amateur title. She has won seven times in college, three during her first two seasons at Tulane University, and four more times at Kansas State. She transferred to the Manhattan campus when her coach at Tulane, Stu Burke, was hired by the Big 12 school. She was named the American Athletic Conference Golfer of the Year for Tulane as a sophomore in 2023. In 2024, Bernat Escuder claimed the individual title at the Spirit International in Texas. She also represented the International side in the 2024 Palmer Cup held at Lahinch in the Republic of Ireland. Bernat Escuder grew up in Castellon, Spain, and worked with Victor Garcia, the father of Masters champion Sergio Garcia. She also was neighbors with 2024 U.S. Amateur champion Jose Luis Ballester.
