Former Maui resident Kyung Kim helped Southern California break a 14-year-old record Wednesday in the second round of the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship, in Athens, Ga. The Trojans shot a team total of 12-under-par 276 — one better than the previous low — and were the clubhouse leaders when bad weather ended play with half the 22 teams still on the course.

At 560, top-ranked USC is 12 shots up on defending champion Alabama.

Kim had 69 in the second round and is tied for 16th among the individuals who finished, at 143. Oregon sophomore Cassy Isagawa, the 2010 state high school champion for Baldwin, was even par through 17 holes. She opened with 75.

Two-time Manoa Cup champion David Fink, an Oregon State junior, fired a 5-under-par 67 in Saturday’s final round of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. It was not quite enough as the Beavers came up a stroke short of advancing to the national championship.

Fink finished in a tie for fifth individually at 206 — a career low. He was two shots behind Richmond’s Daniel Walker, who will play in nationals because he was the top individual not on one of the qualifying teams.
