Garvey 69 Leads No. 1 USC In Allstate Sugar Bowl First Round
February 17, 2019 | Women's Golf, Features
Trojans four back after 18 holes.
Sophomore Amelia Garvey fired a 3-under 69 while sophomore Jennifer Chang turned in an even round to lead the No. 1 USC women's golf team during the first round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate on Sunday (Feb. 17) at the English Turn Golf and Country Club in New Orleans.
Â
The three-time winners held the lead for much of the first round, going as low as 3-under, before finishing the day at a combined 1-over 289, four back of first-place Texas and three behind second-place Duke.
Â
Garvey matched her season-best round this year thanks to a sizzling back 9 that saw her pocket five birdies with just one bogey. She is seeking her fourth straight top 15 finish.
Â
Chang is tied for 13th after her 72. She was 2-under on the front and was still even until late bogeys on 14 and 18.
Â
Sophomore Gabriela Ruffels and freshman Malia Nam are tied for 23rd after 2-over 74 rounds while junior Allisen Corpuz is tied for 46th at 4-over 76.
Â
USC will begin the second round at 8:20 a.m. PT.
