College golf's spring season is in full swing, and it didn't take long for tournament records to be broken at one of the best events of the year.
Fourth-ranked USC won the Therese Hession Regional Challenge at Palos Verdes Golf Club for its fourth victory of the season. The Trojans shot 9-under 843 for the event, topping No. 6 Oregon by five shots for the team title.
For USC, Cindy Kou placed third at 5-under 208, while standout freshman Jasmine Koo, the top-ranked player in the NCAA golf rankings, tied for fourth at 4 under. Junior Catherine Park tied for eighth.
In terms of records going down, Oregon was stellar in the final round, shooting 12-under 272 on Tuesday, two shots better than the previous record of 274, set at the Westbrook Invitational in 2013-14. Oregon was the only other team to finish under par at Palos Verdes.
In the individual competition, Ohio State junior Kary Hollenbaugh tied the tournament scoring record at 10-under 203. She signed for 4-under 67 in the final round, becoming the first Buckeye to win the Therese Hession Regional Challenge. Oregon's Kiara Romero placed solo second at 6 under for the week.
