2026 El Dorado Shootout Champion Kary Hollenbaugh

Kary Hollenbaugh won the 2026 Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout presented by Coca-Cola and Monster Energy in a three-way sudden-death playoff at Mystic Creek Golf Club, claiming her first Epson Tour title and first win as a professional.

Hollenbaugh, Juniper Jang and Kate Smith-Stroh all finished regulation at 6-under 210 to force the playoff — Jang closed with a 40-foot birdie putt on 18 to get to 6-under, Hollenbaugh made four birdies over her last five holes to match her, and Smith-Stroh, the outright leader after Friday’s opening round, nearly won it outright on the 18th green, watching a 20-foot eagle putt slide by inches before tapping in for the birdie that got her into the playoff.

Speaking in the clubhouse as a co-leader, before the playoff had been decided, Hollenbaugh credited her cousin — on the bag for her this week — with keeping her calm down the stretch: “I have my cousin on the bag and he’s super fun, and we kind of just joke around, but I can be really tough on myself, and he kept just telling me that there’s a lot of holes left… So today I was just like, yeah, I knew kind of what I had to do, and I had a few great numbers into greens and was able to be aggressive.”
