USC Remains Third After NCAA Madison Regional Second Round
May 08, 2018 | Women's Golf, Features
Corpuz tied for seventh, Garvey tied for ninth; Chang 2-under 70 tops second day efforts.
Freshman Jennifer Chang carded a 2-under 70 while freshman Amelia Garvey and sophomore Allisen Corpuz both came in at even to lead the No. 5 USC women's golf team on Tuesday (May 8) in the second round of the 2018 NCAA Madison Regional at the University Ridge G.C. as Troy maintained third place.
Â
The Trojans, in pursuit of their 21st straight trip to the NCAA Championships finals, remain at 3-under at 573 (285-288), now 11 back of first-place Duke, whose 9-under led the field today. USC is three behind day 1 leader Virginia and a stroke better than both Arizona State and Oregon State, tied for fourth. USC is four better than a three-way tie for sixth that includes Illinois, Northwestern and Ohio State, the top 8 teams jockeying for six spots to the NCAA Championships final in Stillwater, Okla.
Â
Chang used a 4-under front 9 as a springboard to her strong day, a double bogey on 17 the only blemish on her card. It is her sixth round of par or better in her last eight outings.
Â
Corpuz is tied for seventh at 3-under 141 (69-72) as she eyes her sixth straight top 15 finish. She was 3-under on the day thanks to a 3-under front – which included her second eagle of the week -- before a late bogey on 17 and a double on 18 squared her round. Still, she registered her fifth round of par or better in her last six.
Â
Garvey is tied for ninth at 2-under 142 (70-72), putting together her best 36 holes as a Trojan. She, too, got hot on the front with a 3-under through 9 before three back 9 bogeys evened her round.
Â
Freshman Alyaa Abdulghany is tied for 44th at 3-over 147 (73-74) while freshman Gabi Ruffels is tied for 77th at 10-over 154 (77-77).
Â
USC will tee off in its final round with Duke and Virginia starting at 7:39 a.m. off the first tee.
