For the second straight year, Coquitlam's SooBin Kim shared in the chase but finished second overall at the B.C. Women's Amateur golf championship.
The University of Washington athlete was briefly in the lead but couldn't hold back Hawaiian Cassy Isagawa, who posted back-to-back 68s en route to a six-stroke win at the Pitt Meadows Golf Club.
Kim, who a year ago finished four shots back of Christine Wong, led by one shot after the opening two rounds with rounds of 72 and 71. Consistent to the core, she closed out with rounds of 71 and 72 to stand 10-strokes under par - the same mark as last year at Christina Lake.
After an opening round that saw her register her lone eagle - on the eighth hole - Kim trailed Isagawa by two, but the tables were turned on the second day when the Gleneagle alumna fired a 71 to lead 144 to 143. However, Isagawa posted 11 birdies and two eagles over the last two days to roll to the B.C. crown.
With the win, Isagawa, who attends the University of Oregon, became the first known international winner of the women's B.C. amateur title.
In a two-way tie for second was Kim's UW teammate Jennifer Yang, also of Coquitlam. Yang posted a four-day total of 293, 13 shots back of the lead. In seventh position was Port Coquitlam's Anica Yoo, at one under, with a score of 295 over four rounds.
