B.C.'s Victoria Liu Wins Again At Princeton
PRINCETON, NJ (Septemberr 29, 2024) - Winning never gets old. Victoria Liu can certainly attest to that. The Vancouver resident, who has just started her senior year at Princeton University, won again this past weekend. Liu captured her team’s home event, the Princeton Invitational, for what was her eighth collegiate win.
Liu shot rounds of 68, 72 and 71 to finish the tourney at two-under par and one shot ahead of teammate Catherine Rao. Liu and her Princeton teammates captured the team title by 30 shots over second-place Georgetown.
Liu said she never dreamed that she’d have eight wins at this point of her collegiate career. “To be honest, going to college I didn’t think about how many times I would win,” she said. “It’s so unpredictable and I didn’t know what to expect as a freshman. . .My goal is to keep my game sharp and contribute as best I can to the team. If I can snatch individual wins here or there, it’s always good.”
Liu laughed when asked if she can hit double digits for individual wins by the time her senior season ends. “That’s the hope,” she said. “But my main goal this year is I want to have a really good season with my team. I want the team to go as far as possible.”
Liu is not only excelling on the golf course. The computer science major is also acing the academics at her Ivy League school. Her cumulative grade point average at Princeton is 3.80. The win was Liu’s third at the Princeton Invitational. She said a hot putter helped her earn the victory.
“The best part of my game this week was definitely my putting,” she said. “I made a lot of good par save putts from six to 10 feet.”
