No. 1 USC Extends Lead After Clover Cup Second Round
March 16, 2019 | Women's Golf, Features
Jennifer Chang in second at par, among six Trojans in the top 15.
No. 1 USC, led by sophomore Jennifer Chang's even 72 and sophomore Amelia Garvey's 1-over 73, extended their lead to 13 strokes after Saturday's second round of the Clover Cup in Mesa, Arizona.
Â
The Trojans, a three-time winner this year with a six-stroke lead to start the round, combined for a 5-over 293 second round and are now 9-over 585 (292-293). Oklahoma is second at 22-over while Kentucky is third at 23-over.
Â
Chang moved into second place alone at par 144 (72-72), three off the lead, after another even round. She was 2-over through 4, but finished the final 14 holes at 2-under without another bogey. She is competing for her team-best fifth top 10 result.
Â
Garvey (74-73) joined freshman Malia Nam (74-73) in a tie for sixth at 3-over 147. Garvey was 1-under going out and 2-over coming home, working for her sixth straight top 16 finish. Nam was also 1-under at the turn but 3-over on the back 9 as she looks for her seventh top 17 this season.
Â
Sophomore Gabriela Ruffels is tied for 12th at 5-over 149 (75-74), which included a 1-under back 9 with birdies on 15 and 18. She is trying to add to her five top 21 finishes this year.
Â
The Trojans' pair of individual entrees continued their strong play. Junior Aiko Leong is tied for ninth at 4-over 148 (74-74) while sophomore Alyaa Abdulghany is tied for 15th at 6-over 150 (76-74).
Â
Junior Allisen Corpuz finished Saturday tied for 31st at 9-over 153 (73-80). The final round is set for Sunday.
