Woodbridge’s Yim Wins Section Girls’ Golf Title

Yon Yim, a sophomore from Woodbridge High who predicted to her coach, Tracy Roberts, that she would win the Southern Section individual girls’ title, did so by shooting four-under 68 Monday at Mission Lakes Country Club in Desert Hot Springs.

Roberts made a hole-in-one last week and Yim said afterward she would top him by winning the title, Roberts said.

She started on the back nine and shot one-over 38, but birdied the first four holes of the front nine. She then made four consecutive pars and finished with another birdie.

Yim beat Amy Hung of Arcadia by two shots and was three ahead of Lelani Bagby of Santa Monica. Lisa Costello of Brea Olinda was one of several tied at 72.

There were 102 golfers in the tournament.
