USC survives final-round shootout to capture Pac-12 team title



   In a field littered with talent, Southern California, No. 2 in the latest Golfstat rankings, had built a big enough lead that it was able to withstand huge rallies by both No. 4 UCLA and No. 10 Arizona State and capture the Pac-12 team title Wednesday at Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton, Calif.
   There were plenty of fireworks in the battle for the individual title as well as Arizona State’s Linnea Strom, a freshman from Sweden, outdueled UCLA’s Bronte Law, a junior from England and ranked No. 1 in Division I by Golfstat, to claim the Pac-12 crown.
   The Trojans posted a 5-over 293 in Wednesday’s final round – 18 shots higher than the ridiculous 275 they carded in Tuesday’s second round – for an 18-under 846 total that was three shots clear of cross-town rival UCLA and five shots better than Arizona State.
   UCLA, with Law firing a 6-under 66 and Lilia Vu, a freshman from Fountain Valley, Calif., carding a 3-under 69, closed with a 5-under 283 for a 15-under 849 total. Arizona State, with Strom matching Law’s brilliant 6-under 66 and Monica Vaughn, a junior from Reedsport, Ore. and a member of the U.S. Curtis Cup team, carding a 3-under 69, had the day’s best score, a 6-under 282, for a 13-under 851 total.
   Arizona State leapfrogged in-state rival Arizona, ranked 11th, to get third as the Wildcats posted a 2-over 290 and finished fourth at 8-under 856. Colorado, ranked 40th, rounded out the top five with a final-round 294 and an even-par 864 total.
   But USC showed plenty of grit in closing out this one, its fifth tournament win of the year. The Trojans know how good their Pac-12 rivals are and they knew they’d be coming after them on the final day.
   Gabriella Then, a junior from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., led the way for USC, carding a final-round 73 over the 6,458-yard, par-72 Ruby Hill layout to finish in a tie for third in the individual chase at 8-under 208. Then had lit the fuse on Tuesday’s second-round explosion when she grabbed the individual lead with a 7-under 65.
   Karen Chung, a junior from Livingston, N.J., and Tiffany Chan, a junior from Hong Kong, snuck into the top 10 in the individual standings, tying for 10th at 3-under 213. Chung had a final-round 73 and Chan carded a 74.
   Robynn Ree, a freshman from Redondo Beach, Calif., had a final-round 76 to finish in a tie for 12th at 1-under 215. And Kyung Kim, the senior stalwart from Chandler, Ariz., finished tied for 18th at even-par 216. The steady Kim’s final-round 73 gave USC just enough breathing room.
   Strom had a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th to finish off her final-round 66 that was just enough to hold off Law, who had finished off her 66 with a birdie at 18 just ahead of Strom.
   Strom, who entered the day trailing Then by four shots, finished at 11-under 205, a conference record. She became the 10th Sun Devil to win the Pac-12 individual title and the first since LPGA Tour player Carlota Ciganda won her second straight crown in 2010.
   Law, who did nothing to tarnish her No. 1 individual ranking, finished a shot back in second at 10-under 206. Her teammate, Vu, shared third with USC’s Then at 8-under 208.
   Arizona State’s Vaughn led the group of four players who finished tied for fifth at 6-under 210. The rest of that foursome included Washington’s Charlotte Thomas, a senior from England, Arizona’s Krystal Quihuis, a sophomore from Tucson, Ariz., and Colorado’s Alexis Keating, a senior from Elma, Wash. 
   Thomas opened the tournament with a 75, but went 67-68 in the last two rounds. Quihuis carded her second straight 69 for a strong finish. Keating, who had surged into contention with a 6-under 66 in Tuesday’s middle round, fell back with a final-round 74.
   Suffice it say, the Pac-12 will be well-represented when the NCAA Regional qualifiers are released next week.
