Pebble Beach Witnessed History Repeating Itself as Tiger Woods’ 23-Year-Old Heroics Get Revisited Through the Hands of $2,000,000 LPGA Champ

There is a reason Pebble Beach Golf Links is often touted as one of the grandest sporting venues ever. From Jack Nicklaus to Tom Watson to Tiger Woods, several of the greatest male players in the history of golf have scripted stunning wins at this sea-hugging gem.

On Sunday, Allisen Corpuz followed in their footsteps by becoming the winner of the 78th US Women’s Open, the first-ever women’s major event held at Pebble Beach. The LPGA star’s outing at the tournament was filled with many iconic moments, several of which are strikingly similar to what Tiger Woods achieved at the landmark venue 23 years ago!

Allisen Corpuz’s US Women’s Open win is reminiscent of Tiger Woods’ heroics from two decades ago

In his long and illustrious career, Tiger Woods has bagged 15 major wins, just three short of Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of 18. When it comes to Woods’ most dominating victories, however, his 2000 US Open win at Pebble Beach takes the cake.

A then 25-year-old Woods had finished the tournament with a 12-under par total of 272, winning by an unbelievable 15 strokes over Ernie Els of South Africa and Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain! To date, it remains the biggest margin of victory at a golf major.

Two decades later, a new benchmark has been set once again at the sacred golf course on California’s Monterey Peninsula. This time around, it is LPGA sensation Allisen Corpuz, also aged 25, who has secured her place in the annals of golf history.

She was also the only player in the field to post four rounds below par, much like Woods had done in 2000. For her win, Corpuz also pocketed $2,000,000, the biggest chunk of the record-making $11 million purse this year!

Just a handful of days ago, Honolulu native Michelle Wie West bid adieu to the golf. On Sunday, another Honolulu golfer, Allisen Corpuz, stepped up to claim her first-ever major title. Corpuz’s US Women’s Open victory is also her first-ever win on the LPGA Tour.

Entering her final round, she was one shot behind Japan’s Nasa Hataoka. She eventually took a 1-stroke lead at the 10th and did not falter after that. Her round, which consisted of six birdies and three bogeys, saw her finish at 69 for a total of 9-under 279. Corpuz was also three shots clear of runners-up Charley Hull (66) and Jiyai Shin (68)!

Not long after the win, Corpuz received an invitation from other than Barack Obama to play a round of golf! Turns out both Corpuz and the ex-president had graduated from the prestigious Punahou School in Hawaii! 2014 winner and LPGA icon West also attended the same private prep school.
