Accompanied by her two best club friends — a straight driver and precision putter — Ciera Min continued her stretch of dominance, despite a long break from golf.
On Tuesday, the Gonzaga senior-to-be tore up the OGA Golf Course in Woodburn, Ore., with a 5-under-par 67 to win medalist honors at a U.S. Women’s Amateur qualifier.
Min, a 2013 Waiakea graduate, fired seven birdies, including four on the front nine, to outpace the 58-player field by three shots and was one of five qualifiers.
“It’s very special for me to have won because it was a USGA tournament that I hadn’t been to yet,” she said.
