Dan and Desiree Gooch<\/a>.<\/p>\nLong Beach State\u2019s Madison Le won the Big West Individual Championship in Hawaii on Tuesday. The senior was in a tight battle with Big West Player of the Year Davina Xanh, but held off a late comeback to win the title.<\/p>\n
Over the tournament\u2019s 54 holes, Le shot a 208, a score that was -8 under par. This title marks the senior\u2019s first collegiate championship ever and her second Top 10 performance at Long Beach State.<\/p>\n
From the start of the tournament, Le established herself as a strong representative for the Beach. The senior set a program record with nine birdies and eight bogeys at the beginning, breaking the program record for a single round with a nine-under par score of 63. <\/p>\n
To clinch the title, Le had two birdies in the first nine holes and finished the day with a score of 71 to go under par again. In comparison, Xanh eagled 18 to keep things close with the Long Beach State senior.<\/p>\n
But, Le was able to close the day out and finish one stroke in front of Xanh. She also finished five strokes in front of CSUN\u2019s Kim Turgut, who placed third. <\/p>\n
With this individual title, Le earned an automatic entry into the NCAA postseason. She will find out her placement at the NCAA Selection Show on April 29th.<\/p>\n
