Even though she’s not a touring professional yet, USC women’s golf team sensation Jennifer Song is arguably one of the best female golfers in the world right now. Coming off a summer in which she became only the second player ever to win both the U.S. Women’s Amateur and the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links titles, Song has coasted to individual victories in the Trojans’ first two tournaments of the 2009-10 season, most recently winning the Stanford Intercollegiate over the weekend. The USC sophomore tallied an 8-under-par total (67-71-67) at Stanford Golf Course in Palo Alto, besting second-round leader Carlota Ciganda of Arizona State by three strokes. The Sun Devils ended up winning the team title with a 12-under-par score of 840, four shots better than UCLA — ASU and the Bruins were the only two squads to finish under par for the 54-hole event. The Trojans finished fifth, 33 strokes behind the Sun Devils. Song, a native of Korea who resides in La Cañada, won the rain-shortened Mason Rudolph Championship in September by a three-stroke margin as well. That was the first solo collegiate title of her career — she tied for first at last season’s Pac-10 Championship. Though Song was in stellar form at in Palo Alto, her Trojans teammates struggled. The only other USC golfer to post an under-par round was Belen Mozo, whose 1-under 70 in the second round was sandwiched between a pair of 4-over 75s. Mozo, a senior, finished tied for 33rd, the next-best finish for a Trojans golfer. UCLA, on the other hand, was quite consistent, as four of its five competitors — Brianno Do, Stephanie Kono, Sydnee Michaels and Tiffany Lua — finished at 1-under-par 212, part of a logjam at sixth place. Another player to finish sixth was La Quinta’s Jennifer Johnson, a freshman at Arizona State who was runner-up to Song at the Women’s Amateur over the summer.
