Qualifier: Shot 71-73--144 at Canyon Creek Country Club, in Richardson, Texas, on April 17

The Montgomery, Texas, native will compete in her second U.S. Women's Open, and first as a professional, after shooting even-par 144 at Canyon Creek Country Club, in Richardson, Texas, on April 17 to garner the second and final spot from the qualifier. Cooper survived a 2-for-1 playoff with fellow professional Emma Broze, of France. In February, Cooper claimed an NXXT Epson Tour qualifier in Lake Mary, Fla., shooting 16 under par in the 36-hole event to take home the trophy. In 2024, Cooper won a Women's All-Pro Tour (WAPT) event in Lake Charles, La. She has also played sparingly on the Epson Tour since graduating from Texas A&M in 2023. In 2016, Cooper and partner Kaitlyn Papp won the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball title at Streamsong Resort in Florida. She later played three seasons at the University of Texas before transferring to Texas A&M for her final two years (one graduate year due to COVID-19). At Texas, she was the 2019 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, along with being named first-team All-American by the Women's Golf Coaches of America, and second team by Golfweek. She also represented the United States in the 2019 Palmer Cup. In the 2018 U.S. Women's Open at Shoal Creek, she finished T-55 as an amateur.
