No. 3 USC Tied For Third After Stanford Intercollegiste First Round
October 11, 2019 | Women's Golf, Features
Abdulghany, Corpuz, Nam all tied for ninth after opening 71s.
Senior Allisen Corpuz, junior Alyaa Abdulghany and sophomore Malia Nam all fired 1-under 71s to lead the No. 3 USC women's golf team into a tie for third place after the first round of the 2019 Stanford Intercollegiate on Friday (Oct. 11) at the Stanford (Calif.) G.C.
Â
The Trojans, the defending champions of the tournament, combined for a 2-under 282, tied with Oregon, four back of Arizona State and two behind second-place and host Stanford. Corpuz, Abdulghany and Nam are all tied for ninth, three strokes back.
Â
Abdulghany, who led USC last year in the event with a fourth-place finish, posted her third sub-par round in four outings this season with today's 71. She turned at 1-under, fell back to 1-over but birdies on 15 and 16 got her back into red.
Â
Corpuz carded her fifth straight round of par or better thanks to a three-birdie, two-bogey effort, helping to account for a two-under back 9. She has also finished with four consecutive 70s.
Â
Nam pocketed her second sub-par round in a row. She was 2-over through 10, but birdied 11, 13 and 17 for her 70.
Â
Junior Gabriela Ruffels is tied for 23rd at 1-over 72. She was 3-under between 8 and 13 and 4-over on the remaining holes. Junior Amelia Garvey is tied for 32nd at 2-over 73. She had four birdies on the day.
