Chen Named Pac-12 Women's Golfer Of The Month For April
Freshman earns honor after capturing Pac-12 individual title.
Doris Chen, one of the nation's top juniors the past three years with tons of top amateur experience, will challenge for a spot in USC's starting lineup as a 2012 freshman.
Chen, who won the 2010 U.S. Girls' Junior title, capped a busy summer of 2011 by finishing as the runner-up at the 109th Women's North & South Amateur at Pinehurst. She also competed as an amateur at the 2011 U.S. Women's Open but did not make the cut. She earned the spot in the draw by winning a sudden-death playoff at a sectional qualifier.
She was a 2010 Rolex Junior All-America first teamer when she won the U. S. Girls title and recorded four additional top-10 finishes in national junior golf, including a tie for fourth at the AJGA Junior at Innisbrook. Chen also earned Rolex Junior All-American honors in 2007-09.
Chen attended the IMG Leadbetter Golf Academy in Bradenton, Fla., prior to attending USC. In addition to winning the U.S. Girls title in 2010, she also helped the U.S. win the Junior Ryder Cup over Europe, 13.5-10.5, that year. She was also a semifinalst at the 2009 U.S. Girls' Junior.
