USC Remains Third After NCAA Madison Regional Second Round
May 08, 2018 | Women's Golf, Features
Corpuz tied for seventh, Garvey tied for ninth; Chang 2-under 70 tops second day efforts.
Freshman Jennifer Chang carded a 2-under 70 while freshman Amelia Garvey and sophomore Allisen Corpuz both came in at even to lead the No. 5 USC women's golf team on Tuesday (May 8) in the second round of the 2018 NCAA Madison Regional at the University Ridge G.C. as Troy maintained third place.
The Trojans, in pursuit of their 21st straight trip to the NCAA Championships finals, remain at 3-under at 573 (285-288), now 11 back of first-place Duke, whose 9-under led the field today. USC is three behind day 1 leader Virginia and a stroke better than both Arizona State and Oregon State, tied for fourth. USC is four better than a three-way tie for sixth that includes Illinois, Northwestern and Ohio State, the top 8 teams jockeying for six spots to the NCAA Championships final in Stillwater, Okla.
Chang used a 4-under front 9 as a springboard to her strong day, a double bogey on 17 the only blemish on her card. It is her sixth round of par or better in her last eight outings.
Corpuz is tied for seventh at 3-under 141 (69-72) as she eyes her sixth straight top 15 finish. She was 3-under on the day thanks to a 3-under front – which included her second eagle of the week -- before a late bogey on 17 and a double on 18 squared her round. Still, she registered her fifth round of par or better in her last six.
Garvey is tied for ninth at 2-under 142 (70-72), putting together her best 36 holes as a Trojan. She, too, got hot on the front with a 3-under through 9 before three back 9 bogeys evened her round.
Freshman Alyaa Abdulghany is tied for 44th at 3-over 147 (73-74) while freshman Gabi Ruffels is tied for 77th at 10-over 154 (77-77).
USC will tee off in its final round with Duke and Virginia starting at 7:39 a.m. off the first tee.
