US Curtis Cup player Tiffany

Joh wins WAPL title

United States Curtis Cup team player at St Andrews, Tiffany Joh has won the US Women's Amateur Public Links championship for a second time in three years.
The 21-year-old beat Jennifer Song (South Korea) by 2 and 1 in the 36-hole final over the Erin Hills couse, Wisconsin. Joh played second fiddle for most of the field before squaring the contest with a birdie at the 31st hole. She led for the first time with another birdie at the 33rd and finished it off with a par at the 35th.
Both Song and Joh are the daughters of university professors. Song’s father teaches fluid mechanics at a university in Korea while Joh’s dad is an accounting professor at San Diego State. Song shared low-amateur honours at last year’s U.S. Women’s Open and will give it another try next week in Edina, Minn., before heading back to Korea.
Joh has yet to qualify for the US Women’s Open, failing to get through sectional qualifying. She now returns to UCLA to take summer school classes..
