USC Women’s Golf and Catherine Park Set Pac-12 Records on Moving Day

Women’s Golf | April 22, 2024

PULLMAN, Wash. – USC women’s golf put up a record performance, as its 268 (-20) on the day shattered the Pac-12 tournament record that the Trojans previously held from 2016 (275, -13) and set a new program record for the lowest round.  On the same day, sophomore Catherine Park broke the record for the best round at a 64 (-8) on day two of the Pac-12 Championship at the Palouse Ridge Golf Club in Pullman, Washington. 
 
USC moved up two spots, and split the difference, as it is sitting in second place at ten-under-par. Stanford currently leads after day two at 16-under-par. 

Park posted her best round of the season, and tied her career-best outing, as she previously had a 64 during the 2023 NCAA Championships. This is the seventh time that Park has posted a round in the 60s, which ties her for the seventh most in a single season for the Women of Troy. The sophomore had a flawless round, as she posted ten pars and eight birdies: including a streak of five-straight birdies on holes No. 9-13. Park now leads the tournament by four-strokes at ten-under-par. 

 

Junior Amari Avery also had a stellar afternoon, as she overcame her seven-over-par outing on day one and followed it up with a seven-under-par day two to make her Even for the tournament. Avery had a similar afternoon to Park, but had one blemish, as she had a bogey on hole No. 6. Avery is third on the team, as she is tied for 13^th.

 

Senior Brianna Navarrosa sits second on the squad, as she is one-under-par after two days. Navarrosa posted a 67 (-5), as she went bogeyless and had five birdies. The senior is now tied for 9^th heading into the final day. The final counting score for the Women of Troy comes via junior Xin (Cindy) Kou as she is three-over-par overall. Kou put together an Even, 72, on moving day and is now tied for 32^nd in the field. 

 

The final score for USC is from freshman Bailey Shoemaker. Shoemaker sits in 37^th place, as she is five-over-par, posting a 77-72 after two days. 

The Women of Troy head into final day hoping to overcome the lead that Stanford has as they start teeing off at 9:40 a.m. tomorrow morning in Pullman, Washington.
