No. 3 USC Wins Stanford Intercollegiate For Second Win In A Row
October 21, 2018 | Women's Golf, Features
Trojans win by 15 strokes, place four in the top 10.
Sophomores Jennifer Chang and Amelia Garvey fired 2-under 69s while sophomore Alyaa Abdulghany carded a 1-under 70 as the No. 3 USC women's golf team completed a commanding wire-to-wire win at the Stanford Intercollegiate on Sunday (Oct. 21).
Â
The Trojans won for the second time in a row thanks to a 15-under 837 (272-286-279), winning by 15 strokes. Host Stanford was second at par 852 with Northwestern a stroke back in third.
Â
"This was obviously a very good week for our entire lineup, top to bottom," USC Head Coach Justin Silverstein said. "Whenever we can have a week where our entire lineup is in every round we will have a great chance to bring home a trophy. Although we had some great success this week, our group is looking forward to getting home and starting to prepare for our next event at East Lake Cup."
Â
Abdulghany topped USC's starting lineup by finishing fourth at 5-under 208 (67-71-70). Two days after opening with a collegiate best 67, she completed her best 54-hole effort as a Trojan with a clean two-birdie, one-bogey round.
Â
Chang was a stroke back, tying for fifth at 4-under 209 (69-71-69). She was 2-over through 10 holes but closed with four birdies over her final eight holes to secure her 10th straight top 15 finish and first top 10 this year.
Â
"I'm so proud of the team this week," Chang said. "We played great all week so it's nice to get another win. We had a really good start on the first day and just wanted to keep the momentum going into the next few days."
Â
Garvey, in her season debut tournament, tied for eighth at 3-under 210 (69-72-69), posting her first two rounds under 70 as a Trojan. Her final round saw a bogey on 6 and three birdies on 7, 12 and 14 to stay under par today. It was her best finish in a 54-hole event.
Â
Malia Nam continued the strong start to her freshman season, taking 10th at 1-under 212 (67-74-71) for her third straight top 11 finish. She had two birdies and two bogeys in the final round.
Â
Sophomore Gabriela Ruffels, coming off her first win, rounded out USC's efforts, tying for 31st at 4-over 217 (71-72-74).
