KRISTEN (14) WINS US GIRLS
CHAMPIONSHIP: HER FIRST
EVER MATCH-PLAY EVENT!

Kristen Park had never played in a match-play event in her young golfing life until she arrived at Tacoma Country & Golf Club, Lakewood in Washington State for the United States girls' amateur championship.
On Saturday, Kriston finished the week by beating Ayaka Kaneko 4 and 3 in the 36-hole final to become the fourth-youngest winner in the history of the championship.
The 14-year-old Park, from Buena Park, California, was playing in her first USGA championship.
The score was tied after the first 18 holes on the 6,391-yard Tacoma Country & Golf Club course, but the 17-year-old Kaneko missed a number of putts and hit her ball under a tree on two occasions.
After the 19th hole, Park went in front for good and her lead continued to grow until both golfers conceded bogeys on the 33rd hole.
"I was really nervous in front of all those people out there,'' Park said after her victory. "I was too stiff on the first 18 holes.''
