Trojans will compete individually only with Abulghany, Corpuz, Manthena.
The No. 14 USC women's golf team, which won its season opener at the Minnesota Invitational, will send a partial squad to the Pac-12 Preview at Nanea, Monday and Tuesday (Oct. 23-24), in Kona, Hawaii.
Â
USC won its season-opener, taking the Minnesota Invitational at 26-under 838 (282-276-280) for a nine-shot win. The Trojans' 26-under performance was their third-most under par total in a 54-hole tournament.
Â
Sophomore Muni He tied for first at 10-under 206 (70-67-69), which is tied for fifth most under par in program history. Junior Robynn Ree tied for third at 8-under 208 (71-68-69).
Â
He and Ree, both All-Americans last year, lead the Trojans' small five-woman roster. The only other returning Trojan is sophomore Allisen Corpuz, who tied for 17th in the opener.
Â
USC 22nd-year coach Andrea Gaston welcomed two new Trojans in freshman Alyaa Abdulghany and sophomore transfer Divya Manthena, who tied for 14th and 46th, respectively, in their Trojan debuts.
Â
Up next in Hawaii, however, the Trojans will be without their leaders in stroke average Ree and He, who are competing in the second stage of the LPGA's Q School. Consequently, USC's trio of Corpuz, Abdulghany and Manthena will compete individually in the 54-hole event.
Â
Corpuz and Abdulghany are tied for third on the squad in stroke average at 72.67 while Manthena has averaged 76.50 in her first two tournaments.
