Near-miss for Clovis West golfer in bid for CIF State Championship berth
Clovis West High’s Madison Nii fell short via a tiebreaker in qualifying for the CIF State individual golf championships while her Golden Eagles were seventh out of 10 teams Thursday at the SoCal Regional.
Troy-Fullerton (378), Walnut (379) and University-Irvine (397) advanced as the top three team finishers at the CIF/SCGA tournament at Canyon Crest Country Club in Riverside. The state championship is Tuesday at Poppy Hills Golf Course.
Clovis West (434) and ninth-place Clovis East (478) were the Central Section team qualifiers.
Angelina Kim of Fairfax won the individual championship, and according to the Los Angeles Times, is the first L.A. City Section golfer to do so. She couldn’t play a year ago because Fairfax did not have a girls team.
Girls Golf 7th at CIF So-Cal Champs. Madison Nii led Golden Eagles w/ a 73 (T-9th). She competed in PO w/ 10 others for last 3 spots to State. Unfortunately she will not advance.

Great Season Madison, Aya, Claire, Taylor, Kayla, & Marissa!
Kim shot a 4-under 69, tying Troy’s Isabel Sy through regulation, then won on the second playoff hole. Kim leads a group of nine individual qualifiers not on one of the top three teams.
Eleven golfers, including Nii, shot 73s to tie for ninth overall and the final three individual qualifying slots. Kristen Chen of Westlake, 73, Vanessa Ho of Torrey Pines-San Diego and Kornkamol Sukaree of Anaheim Discovery Christian advanced in the playoff.
