Park leaves USC with five career wins \u2014 tied for the third-most all-time \u2014 and is USC’s career leader with a 70.40 career stroke average, 30 top-10 finishes, 40 rounds in the 60s. Eighteen of those rounds in the 60s came this year, which was the most in a single season in program history. This year, Park won her final collegiate tournament at the Alice and John Wallace Women’s Golf Classic, yet she led the team with 12 top-25 finishes and nine top-10 finishes. She capped off her career by placing fourth at the NCAA Championships for her third-career top-five finish at NCAAs.<\/p>\n Earning First Team All-American honors for the second consecutive year, Jasmine Koo<\/a> outdid herself as a sophomore with four career wins, becoming USC’s career wins leader with eight titles. Koo became the first Trojan to win an individual Big Ten Tournament title, leading the Trojans to their 10th conference title in program history. She ended the season by winning three of the last five tournaments in which she played, then capped off the season by placing 11th at the NCAA Championships for her best postseason finish. Koo had 10 top 25 finishes and seven top 10 finishes and ranked second on the team with 20 rounds under par and 16 rounds in the 60s.<\/p>\n Making her first All-American appearance, sophomore Kylie Chong<\/a> enjoyed a breakout season in which she won her first two titles of her collegiate career and earned All-Big Ten First Team honors.

She won USC’s inaugural GameAbove Invitational with a 205 (-11) total for her first outright collegiate win. Chong was instrumental in USC’s run to the NCAA match play championship, sealing the quarterfinal win over Duke and winning the Trojans’ lone match against Stanford in the title match.<\/p>\n Bouncing back from a near-career-ending injury that sidelined her during the fall, Bailey Shoemaker<\/a> earned her first career All-American honors after her best collegiate season. Shoemaker was an All-Big Ten First Team selection and was tied for the runner-up at the conference tournament \u2014 one of three runner-up finishes she had all season. Shoemaker placed in the top 25 in all nine tournaments in which she played, plus she had six consecutive top-10 finishes midway through the spring.
