Allisen Corpuz Earns Golfweek First Team All-America Honors
April 27, 2020 | Women's Golf, Features
Alyaa Abdulghany, Amelia Garvey repeat with honorable mention honors.
Senior Allisen Corpuz was named 2020 Golfweek All-American first teamer on Monday (April 27) after earning WGCA second team notice last week while juniors Amelia Garvey and Alyaa Abdulghany were again tabbed as All-American honorable mention picks.
Corpuz marks the second year in a row under Trojan second-year head coach Justin Silverstein that USC has produced an All-American first teamer following then-sophomore Jennifer Chang's selection in 2019. That was Troy's first first-team selection since the Trojans had three in 2014 (Kyung Kim, Annie Park and Doris Chen).
This is also the 27th All-American first team selection in program history.
It is the second All-American distinction for all three Trojans. Corpuz was selected as an All-American honorable mention pick in 2018 while Garvey and Abdulghany earned the same status in 2019.
In addition to leading USC with her (career-best) four top 7 finishes and five in the top 11, Corpuz topped USC with a 71.57 stroke average, the fifth-best in program history.
Corpuz's team-high-tying four rounds in the 60s gave her 10 for her career, joining a tie for 10th-most in program history while she finished her career with a 72.96 stroke average, 12th-best in program history.
Corpuz's second-place at the Rebel Beach Intercollegiate at 7-under 209 (71-69-69) was her best finish in a 54-hole event. She had team highs of 13 rounds under par on the season and 14 rounds of par or better. Finishing the season ranked No. 10 by Golfweek.com, she registered an impressive streak of nine straight rounds of par or better spanning the four fall events.
Garvey, ranked No. 22 in the country, closed the season with three straight fifth-place finishes, including in Troy's final event at the Bruin Wave Invitational, where she was even at 216 (75-69-72). She also tied for fifth at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge at 3-under 210 (69-73-68) -- her final round one off her career best -- and was fifth at the Rebel Beach Intercollegiate at 4-under 212 (73-70-69).
She finished the season second on the team in stroke average with a career-best 72.00 (tied for 11th-best in school history) and her four rounds in the 60s tied Corpuz for team best.
"It could be argued that no player was playing more consistently this spring season than Amelia with her three fifth-place finishes," said Silverstein, whose golfers have totaled eight All-American nods in two seasons. "She was playing the best golf of her life from January through March and I cannot wait to see what she is able to do next season."
Abdulghany, ranked No. 24 in the nation, was third on the Trojans with a career-best stroke average of 72.17 (16th-best in school history), was second in rounds of par or better with 12 and was tied for third in rounds in the 60s (three).
She had three top 10s on the season, giving her 11 for her career. She posted a season-best fourth at the Rebel Beach Intercollegiate at 5-under 211 (62-67-72) and followed it with a sixth at the Bruin Wave Invitational at 3-over 219 (71-71-77). Abdulghany posted a then-season-best tie for eighth at the Stanford Intercollegiate at 2-under 211 (70-72-69).
"I'm happy to see Alyaa get recognition for her great season as well," Silverstein said. "Her attention to detail is like nothing that I have ever seen before so it's fantastic to see her continue to get national recognition for her efforts."
