RENO, Nev. — Nevada Women's Golf standout Gabby Kano and former Wolf Pack star Leah John have officially punched their tickets to the 2025 U.S. Women's Open, tying for medalist honors at a qualifying event held at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento, California.​

Kano, a sophomore from Fullerton, Calif., continued her remarkable season by firing rounds of 65 and 70 for a two-round total of 135 (-7). She was matched at the top of the leaderboard by John, the Canadian standout and Nevada alum, who mirrored Kano's scorecard with her rounds of 65 and 70 to share the top spot.​
