Jennifer Song, a 19-year-old resident of La Cañada and a rising sophomore at USC, defeated Kimberly Kim on Saturday, June 27 to win the 2009 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship at the 6,267-yard, par-72 Red Tail Golf Club in Devens, Mass. With the usual match-play concessions, Song was nine under par for the 30 holes of the scheduled 36-hole match. Hitting tee shots in the 250-yard range, she never missed a fairway (23 of 23) and hit 25 of 30 greens in regulation. Song said it was the best golf she has played in competition. The margin of victory was the largest in the 33-year history of the event. “Today I was super hot,” said Song. “I can’t believe I made a bunch of birdies, and some of the putts were really hard. They just dropped in and I’m so grateful.” This was Song’s first national championship. She was runner-up in the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Championship and runner-up to former UCLA standout Tiffany Joh in this championship last year. She will next play at the U.S. Women’s Open, which begins July 9 at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa. For full results, click here.
