On Sunday, June 2nd, Allisen Corpuz made history by becoming the first Hawaiian to win the US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach. The 22-year-old golfer from Honolulu, Hawaii, shot a final round of 69 to finish at 9-under par and claim her first LPGA title.
Corpuz’s win was a remarkable feat considering she had only made the cut in one of her previous six LPGA events this season. She entered the tournament as a relative unknown, but quickly made a name for herself with a strong performance in the first two rounds.
Corpuz’s victory was especially impressive given the competition. She beat out some of the best golfers in the world, including world number one Jin Young Ko, who finished in second place at 8-under par. Other notable players included Lexi Thompson and Brooke Henderson, who tied for third place at 7-under par.
The win was also a major milestone for Hawaii, which has not had a professional golfer win an LPGA event since Michelle Wie in 2014. Corpuz’s victory is sure to inspire a new generation of Hawaiian golfers and will likely be remembered as one of the most significant moments in Hawaiian golf history.
The US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach was an incredible event and Allisen Corpuz was the star of the show. Her impressive performance and historic win will be remembered for years to come. Congratulations to Allisen Corpuz on her inaugural LPGA title!
