After the stroke play portion of the 2024 East Lake Cup at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga., the USC women and Georgia Tech men have earned the top seeds of the match play portion.
And freshman Jasmine Koo continues to dominate.
Koo won her third straight individual title by three strokes as the Trojans finished 6-under and six shots better than LSU. Koo finished 7-under after a round of 65, which included nine birdies and two bogeys, including five birdies in the first seven holes.
Her teammate Catherine Park finished in solo second place at 4-under, and Rocio Tejeda of LSU finished in solo third place at 3-under. Park is currently ranked No. 4 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com Women's Rankings.
Koo becomes the second Trojan to win the East Lake Cup individual championship: Robynn Ree in 2017. The freshman is the second USC golfer to win three straight events; Annie Park won three consecutive events to end the spring during the 2012-13 season.
“I was just reading the putts really well; I think yesterday I was able to see the greens really well, too,” Koo said after her round. “Small targets and small mistakes, that was the mindset I went with today, and it really worked.”
Jack Vojtko
In the men's competition, Jack Vojtko of Ohio State shot a round of 6-under 66 to win the medalist honors by one shot. Carson Bacha of Auburn finished in solo second place and 5-under, one shot behind Votjko. Albert Hansson of Georgia Tech finished in solo third place at 4-under.
Tyler Weaver, Patrick McCann, and Luke Clanton, all of Florida State, and Kale Fontenot of Georgia Tech finished T4 at 3-under. Clanton is the No. 1 player in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings.
