VALENCIA, Calif. - USC claimed its program’s fourth Conference title, posting a 54-hole total of 853 (-11) to win the 2013 Pac-12 Women’s Golf Championship at the Valencia Country Club in Valencia, Calif. The Trojans’ first championship came in 1989, and won crowns after in 2008 and 2011. USC freshman Annie Park became the third consecutive Trojan to join the group of six Trojans to ever earn medalist honors. USC entered the final round with an 11-stroke lead over UCLA and stood ground against an assertive group of teams down the stretch. The Trojans opened the final round posting four straight birdies to build a commanding lead over the field and never looked back. The Trojans combined for 20 counted birdies in the final round. Park birdied the 18th to seal the victory, as the USC finished the day with 282 (-6). “It feels great. It’s been a real stressful week as this course has been extremely challenging,” said head coach Andrea Gaston. “Obviously our girls just played lights out golf, this is a real tribute to them, the hard work they put in, I’m so pleased in they way they played.” Gaston noted the level of excitement she felt after freshman Park became the third straight Trojan to win the Conference’s individual title. “It’s exciting to see a freshman win,” said Gaston. “I know Sophia [Popov] was trying to do a good job of tying and maybe having a playoff... but Annie is a great champion, we’re so happy for her.” Washington was 5-over on the day with a 293 and jumped from third place to second place with an 877 (+13) after three rounds. This is the Huskies’ first time finishing above third in the Pac-12 Championships. UCLA finished third with an 879 (+15), while Arizona and Stanford tied for fourth, posting an 882 (+18). USC’s Park started the final round tied for first and hit five birdies, including one on the 18th hole en route to a 3-under 69. She won the individual championship with a 209 (-7). Park stands alongside Jennifer Biehn (1994), Candie Kung (200), Paola Moreno (2008), Sophia Popov (2011) and Doris Chen (2012) as Trojans to take individual medalist honors.
