NEW MINAS, Nova Scotia >> Hawaii golfer Allisen Corpuz (70) tied for second in the Canadian Women’s Amateur competition today, in a tie with Andrea Lee(66), of Hermosa Beach, Calif., and Hannah Green(70), of Australia.
South Korea’s Hye-jin Choi won the tournament, closing with a 4-under 66 for a four-stroke victory.
The 16-year-old Choi finished at 9-under 271 at Ken-Wo Golf Club. She earned exemptions into the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship and the LPGA Tour’s two Canadian stops — the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open and Manulife LPGA Classic.
“I’m just going to play golf,” said Choi, the World Junior Girls champion and low amateur in the U.S. Women’s Open. “I’m not going to worry about others and just play the way I can.”
Corpuz, a Punahou School graduate, will play golf for the University of Southern California in the fall.
She won the David S. Ishii Foundation/HHSAA Girls State High School Golf Championship in Lihue in May
