ST. LOUIS -- Jennifer Song became the second woman to win two U.S. Golf Association championships in the same year, beating Jennifer Johnson 3 and 1 on Sunday in the U.S. Women's Amateur final at Old Warson.
The 19-year-old Song, coming off her freshman year at Southern California, won the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links winner in June and was the low amateur last month in the U.S. Women's Open. Born in Ann Arbor, Mich., she lives in South Korea.
Pearl Sinn is the only other woman to win two USGA titles in a year, taking the 1988 Amateur and Public Links. Five men have accomplished the feat.
