Isabella Scoops First College Title

Hong Kong’s Isabella Leung captured her first US college event since joining the University of Hawaii when she cruised to a three-stroke win at the season-opening Oregon State Invitational last month

"I'm happy because this is my first college win," Leung said

Leung was the only golfer to finish the tournament under par at one-under 215. She opened up with a blistering 67 before closing with rounds of 75 and 73 over the course at Trysting Tree Golf Club. She became the first University of Hawaii women’s golfer to win a tournament title in eight years.

"I was kind of shocked to be honest because I didn't think I played that well today," Leung said. "I guess everyone else struggled out there with the tough pin placements. I'm happy because this is my first college win and I'm glad to get it out of the way."

With more than 10 junior titles in Hong Kong, Leung lists this victory among the top moments of her young career.

"This is pretty special and it ranks right up there, especially because I broke my personal best in this tournament," added Leung.
