SINGAPORE – University of Washington junior Wenyung Keh, representing her home country of New Zealand, put on a stellar performance en route to finishing tied for second at the first annual and prestigious R&A Asia-Pacific Women’s Amateur Championship held at the Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore.
Her finish was not without dramatics after she climbed five spots up the leaderboard over the final round with a 4-under 67 to force a four-way playoff for the title. She used three birdies and one eagle to make her move on the final day. In the first hole of the playoff, Keh unfortunately bogeyed to be the first out wrapping up her tournament.
Throughout the four-day, 72 hole event on the difficult par-71 course, Keh posted 11 birdies and one eagle. She finished with an overall score of 8-under 276. She stayed in the top 10 throughout the entire tournament and her final round of 67 tied for the best of the day.
In round one, Keh went 2-under 69 and followed that with a 1-over 72 to make the cut and advance to the third round. She then went 3-under 68 in round three on a day where she had no blemishes on her scorecard. In a span of 36 holes between round two and four, Keh went bogey-free and carded seven of her birdies and her eagle. Following a bogey on hole 13 in the final round, she birdied the 14th and finished with pars to close out the day and force the playoff.
The Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific championship has been developed by the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC) and The R&A to nurture talent and provide a pathway for the region’s elite female amateurs to the international stage.

February 13, 2018 ~ gohuskies.com
PALOS VERDES, Calif. – The University of Washington Women’s Golf team posted a ninth place finish at the Northrop-Grumman Regional Challenge on Tuesday, concluding their spring season opening tournament at 42-over 894 (297-299-298). The Huskies were led by junior Sarah Rhee who finished tied for 16th.
“I was proud of our effort throughout the weekend and it’s early in the spring so we got a good look at where we’re at that’s what you want to get out of the first spring tournament against a very talented field,” said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. “Sarah played exceptionally well over the last two days and to have four of our five climb the leaderboard on the final day was good to see.”
Rhee climbed 17 spots during the final 18 holes with her third round score 1-over 72. She opened the day with birdies on four of her first seven holes. Following three bogeys on the back end of her front nine, she responded with a 2-over to bump her three-round total to 7-over 220 (76-72-72) for her fourth career top 20 finish.
Junior Wenyung Keh also moved up on the final day, jumping five spots to finish tied for 18th at 8-over 221 (73-74-74). After starting with a bogey on her second hole, Keh responded with a birdie on the par-3 11th hole to finish her front nine at 1-over. She echoed that on her back nine and despite getting to four-over at one point, closed her round with a one-under over the final three holes.
Sophomore Karen Miyamoto placed tied for 49th, climbing five spots as well on Tuesday thanks to her final round score of 5-over 76. She finished with an overall score of 15-over 228 (75-77-76). Miyamoto opened the day with a birdie on her first hole but then went five-over to finish the day.
Rounding out scoring was junior Julianne Alvarez who finished with a 19-over 232 (72-77-82). Freshman Rino Sasaki climbed up seven spots on the board to finish tied for 69th at 20-over 233.

February 12, 2018 ~ gohuskies.com
PALOS VERDES, Calif. – The University of Washington women’s golf team sits in 11th place following round two at the stacked Northrop-Grumman Regional Challenge on Monday as it shot a 15-over 299 to move its two round total to 28-over 596 (297-299). Junior Wenyung Keh continues to lead the Dawgs as she is tied for 23rd at 5-over 147 at the par-71 Palos Verdes Golf Club.
“Today was better in a lot of ways as we had 13 birdies and one eagle from Julianne who holed out from 110 yards on hole 11,” said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. “We did still suffer from too many poor decisions and unforced errors which cost us in conditions which were extremely windy and rather cold for California. We’ve got one more round tomorrow and I believe we will come out strong.”
Keh, ranked 40th by Golfstat, knocked in two birdies and after starting her front nine at 2-over, improved on the back nine finishing her final eight holes at even par. She sits eight strokes off the lead, held by Arizona State’s Olivia Mehaffey, at 5-over 147 (73-74).
Junior Sarah Rhee had a big climbing day as she jumped 20 spots into a tie for 33rd. Rhee opened the day on hole 10 and went even par through four holes then birdied hole 14 before following four more pars. She followed that with three birdies on her back nine to finish with a 1-over 72, a four-stroke improvement from her first round. She is now at 6-over 148 (76-72).
“I was really proud of how Sarah competed today,” added Mulflur. “She is in a good place right now and just focusing on preparing for the next shot she’s about to hit. Nothing else matters which is allowing her to play some really great golf.”
Alvarez started the day with a bang as she eagled her second hole of the day. On the par-4 11th, she holed out from 110 yards on her second strike for her first eagle of the season. She ended up adding three birdies throughout the rest of the day but eight blemishes were costly as she finished the day at 6-over 77 to move her two-round score to 8-over 150 (73-77).
Sophomore Karen Miyamoto also had a tougher second round finishing with a 6-over 77 to push her overall score to 10-over 152 (75-77) which places her tied for 54th rounding out UW’s scoring on Monday. Freshman Rino Sasaki is tied for 76th at 15-over 157 (81-76)after climbing 11 spots on Tuesday thanks to a 5-over 76, which was a five stroke improvement from round one.

“I was proud of our effort today, especially for our first spring tournament,” said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. “We had a bit of a tough start but they kept their attitude and mindset in the right place. We just didn’t make very many putts at all today. Only having five birdies on the day is a small number for us but we plan on dropping some putts tomorrow, shaking off some of the rust and are looking forward to getting back out on the course for round two.”
Keh and Alvarez both sit five strokes off the lead with their 2-over 73’s. Keh started the front nine with a 1-under after posting a birdie on the par-5 16th hole before making the turn. She ran into some errors on her back nine with three blemishes on holes two, three and five to finish with a 2-over.
Alvarez’s start was a little shakier as she double bogeyed her opening hole, which was hole 10, but she responded by posting even par’s over the next six holes and birdied the par-4 hole 17 followed by a par on 18 to finish her first nine at 1-over. She copied that score on the next nine holes with just one blemish on her first hole after the turn to finish in tied for 19th.
Sophomore Karen Miyamoto, who is ranked 91st via Golfstat, was next on the scoring chart for UW, as she is tied for 39th with a 4-over 75. Miyamoto was one of three Dawgs who birdied the par-3 hole 15 on UW’s front nine but it was unfortunately surrounded by bogeys on holes 14 and 16. She finished both nines at 2-over 38.
Rounding out scoring in the five count four tournament at Palos Verdes Golf Club was junior Sarah Rhee who posted a 5-over 76 to tie for 53rd. Freshman Rino Sasaki was next with her 10-over 81 to tie for 87th.
Arizona holds the team lead at 1-over 285 while Arizona State’s Olivia Mehaffey has the individual lead at 3-under 68. She was one of seven players to post a sub-par round over the first 18 holes.
