No. 1 Trojans Win Clover Cup By 16 Strokes For Fourth Victory Of Season
March 17, 2019 | Women's Golf, Features
Jennifer Chang ties for first, third Trojan to earn medalist honors on the year.
No. 1 USC secured its fourth win of the season in wire-to-wire fashion while sophomore Jennifer Chang tied for first for her second career medalist honor on the final day of the Clover Cup in Mesa, Ariz., on Sunday (March 17).
Â
It was a good St. Patrick's Day for the Trojans, who donned green first-place ribbons after the 16-stroke win, USC's fourth this season and first of 2019. Troy finished at 12-over 876 (292-293-291), well ahead of Houston's second-place 28-over 892 while Kentucky was third at 30-over 295.
Â
USC has now won at least four tournaments in six of the past seven seasons.
Â
Chang, the third Trojan to finish first this season, tied for first at 2-under 214 (72-72-70) with Kentucky's Leonie Bettel, Oklahoma's Libby Winans and Houston's Leonie Harm. Chang turned at 3-under after birdies on 8 and 9, bogeyed 11 to drop to 2-under overall and was caught by the trio of golfers late.
Â
The tie for first is her best finish since a win as a freshman. It's also good for her team-best sixth top 11 this season, third in the top 5.
Â
Sophomore Amelia Garvey tied for fifth at 4-over 220 (74-73-73). She was 2-over through 12 but a birdie on 15 helped secure the season-best top 5 finish and her sixth straight in the top 16 to start the season.
Â
Freshman Malia Nam tied for seventh at 5-over 221 (74-73-74), her seventh top 17 this season and fourth in the top 10. She had two birdies on the day.
Â
Sophomore Alyaa Abdulghany, who played individually this weekend with junior Aiko Leong, joined Nam in a tie for seventh (76-74-71), her 1-under final round including birdies on 6, 7 and 9. It was her third top 7 this year as she finished with her eighth round of par or better this season.
Â
Sophomore Gabriela Ruffels (75-74-74) and Leong (74-74-75) tied for 11th at 7-over 223. For Ruffels, who had a roller coaster day with six birdies in her 2-over round, it was her sixth top 21 finish this year. For Leong, the tie for 11th was a USC career best.
Â
Junior Allisen Corpuz finished tied for 30th at 13-over 229 (73-80-76), her first round a counter for the Trojans.
Â
USC returns to action at the ASU Invite in Tempe, Ariz., March 29-31.
