Abdulghany 73 Leads USC, Now Third After Completing 36 Holes At NCAA Championships
May 19, 2018 | Women's Golf, Features
Corpuz in with a 74, Chang done with a 75.
Freshman Alyaa Abdulghany used a late birdie-eagle combo to post a 1-over 73 while sophomore Allisen Corpuz carded a 2-over 74 as the Trojans battled to a 10-over second round at the 2018 NCAA Championships at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Okla., finishing their day in third place.
Â
USC sits at 13-over 589 (291-298), 16 back of first-place UCLA and 11 behind top-ranked Alabama while Arizona and Northwestern are tied for fourth, three back of the Trojans.
Â
Inclement weather delayed the second round, the second wave of 12 teams racing the clock to get in a complete round, though all teams at least six shots back of USC.
                                                                                           Â
The Trojans need to among the top 15 teams after Sunday's third round to advance, where they'll look for a top 8 finish Monday to move onto their fourth straight NCAA match play bracket.
Â
Corpuz is tied for 20th at 2-over 146 (72-74), the sophomore posting a pair of birdies Saturday on 13 and 16 and closing with four straight pars.
Â
Freshman Jennifer Chang is tied for 27th at 3-over 147 (72-75), rebounding from a triple bogey on 13th (USC started the morning on 10) to finish the rest of the round at par.
Â
Abdulghany mixed two birdies and bogeys on her front before four straight bogeys between 2 and 5. The only freshman on the squad who has been here all season she then birdied the par 3 7th hole and eagled the par 4 8th to finish with USC's best round of the day.
Â
Freshman Gabi Ruffels is tied for 46th in the 132-woman field at 6-over 150 (74-76) and freshman Amelia Garvey is tied for 56th at 7-over 151 (73-78) the duo combining for three birdies today.
Â
USC's third round starting time will be determined following the completion of the second round.
