Kendall Todd shot rounds of 71-68-69-67 to get to 5-under and win the 2024 Women's Porter Cup at Niagara Country Club in Lewiston, N.Y.

Todd saved her best for last, firing a bogey-free 3-under 67 to get to 5-under and defeat Nicole Gal, who finished in solo second place at 3-under. Gal was the 54-hole leader at 4-under, but a final round 1-over 71 saw Todd pass her on the leaderboard.

Gal carded rounds of 72-69-65-71 to get to 3-under total. Todd and Gal were the only two golfers to finish under par for the championship.

Amelie Phung finished in solo third place at 1-over, and Vanessa Gilly and Ashley Chow finished T4 at 6-over to round out the top five. 2023 Women's Porter Cup Sarah Gallagher finished in solo sixth place at 9-over.

Todd is currently ranked No. 116 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com Women's Rankings.

Todd, a rising senior at Arkansas, has had a great collegiate career thus far, ranking fifth in scoring average (72.73) and eleventh in finish percentage (69.4%)

As a junior at Arkansas, Todd was the runner-up at The Bruzzy, led the team in stroke play at the SEC Championship with a 2-over 212, and recorded a tie for sixth at the NCAA Las Vegas Regional Championship with a 1-under 215, which was highlighted by a career-low 66 in the second round.

She ended the season in the top 20 with a tie for 19th with a 4-over 292 at the NCAA Championship.

Gal has had a solid summer, finishing T5 at the Sea Island Women's Amateur after holding a share of the first round lead.
