When legendary figures like Barack Obama acknowledge and commend a sporting achievement, it becomes evident that the accomplishment is truly extraordinary. On Sunday, at the US Women’s Open held in Pebble Beach, Hawaii-native Allisen Corpuz emerged victorious after a gripping battle against England’s Charley Hull.
The former US President wasted no time in expressing his pride, proclaiming, “You make us all proud,” on social media. Corpuz, in response, humbly acknowledged the gravity of the moment, recognizing the significance of her remarkable journey.
What makes Corpuz’s triumph even more astounding is the nature of her victory. While she had been showing promising signs in major tournaments, having achieved a tied fourth position at the Chevron Championship and a shared 15th place at the PGA championship, her previous four US Open appearances had resulted in missing three cuts.
Furthermore, prior to this remarkable feat, Corpuz had never secured a mainstream tour event win. Therefore, the weight of expectations at Pebble Beach, coupled with the pressure of the high-profile tournament, resulted in Corpuz adopting a cautious approach throughout the event. In fact, during the final round, she was even given a warning for potentially engaging in slow play.
