No. 4 USC Takes Second At Windy City Collegiate
October 01, 2019 | Women's Golf, Features
Chang and Corpuz tie for third at 6-under.
Junior Jennifer Chang pocketed a season-best 3-under 69 while senior Allisen Corpuz carded her third straight 2-under 70, a final round matched by sophomore Malia Nam, to lead No. 4 USC on the final day of the Windy City Collegiate as the Trojans finished the tournament second on Tuesday (Oct. 1) at the Glen View Club in Golf, Ill.
Â
USC, which began the day two off the lead and one back of South Carolina, briefly tied the Gamecocks for first after the turn, but settled for second at 11-under 853 (286-282-285). South Carolina won at 14-under 853 while Florida, which led entering today, took third at 6-under 858. The Trojans won the event last year.
Â
Corpuz (70-70-70) and Chang (70-71-69) tied for third at 6-under 210, five back of South Carolina winner Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and two behind Florida's Sierra Brooks.
Â
For Corpuz, her performance was a career-best under par over 54 holes. She started the day inauspiciously with bogeys on 1 and 2 before a birdie on 4. She eagled 8 and birdied 9 to turn at 2-under. A double bogey on 11 wiped that out, but she closed with birdies on 12 and 16 to clinch her best finish as a Trojan over 54 holes.
Â
Chang, following a tie for eighth in USC's season opener, now has six top 8 finishes in her last seven starts dating back to last season. She was 1-under through six holes today, carded 10 straight pars, and closed with two more birdies for her 12th career round in the 60s.
Â
Nam, who joined junior Amelia Garvey this week in making their season debuts, tied for 15th at par 216 (74-72-70). She turned at 1-under today and was 2-under before a double on 13 squared her day. Like Chang, she used two late birdies to get back under par.
Â
Garvey tied for 29th at 3-over 219 (72-71-76) with three birdies in her final round. Senior Aiko Leong, who led USC in its season opener at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate, tied for 53rd at 8-over 224 (78-70-76), her round highlighted by birdies on 17 and 18.
Â
USC played this week without junior Gabriela Ruffels, will play in the Japan Open Women's Golf Championships starting Thursday.

USC returns to action at the Stanford Intercollegiate, Oct. 11-13, in Stanford, Calif.
