The 25-year-old was calm and collected in the final round, finishing with a 9-under total of 69 to claim the record $2-million prize.&quot;My mind is racing. Like I said yesterday, this is really a dream come true. It was something I had dreamed of, but at the same time kind of just never really expected it to happen,&quot; said Corpuz. &quot;[I&#x27;m] just trying to take it in and enjoy the moment.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/07/10/23/golf-fil-am-allisen-corpuz-wins-us-womens-open">Golf: Fil-Am Allisen Corpuz wins US Women&#x27;s Open for first LPGA triumph</a></li></ul>An alumna of the University of Southern California, Corpuz is in her second year on the LPGA Tour. She credits her Filipino father for introducing her to golf.&quot;My mom is Korean and my dad is Filipino,&quot; said Corpuz, who traces her roots to Ilocos through her father. &quot;My parents actually live on Kapolei Golf Course on the left side of No. 7. My dad has always been a really big golf fan and just got us into it really young,&quot; she said, adding that she started playing when she was only four or five years old.Corpuz said that she &quot;sucked&quot; at the sport as a child, but refused to be discouraged.&quot;Honestly, I sucked. I just wanted to get better. I think that&#x27;s just kind of who I am, like as a person. Just if something can be done better, that&#x27;s how I want to do it,&quot; she explained. &quot;I mean, it was an activity that I shared with my dad and my older brother on the weekends at first, so just having that family time and just wanting to get better.&quot;A handful of other Filipinas were also among the 156 players who competed in the biggest tournament in the LPGA circuit. Yuka Saso, the 2021 US Women&#x27;s Open champion, finished in 20th place after going 5-over par, while Filipino-American amateur Amari Avery made her second US Women&#x27;s Open appearance and finished at 10-over par.Avery, 19, finished third among amateurs and 48th overall.
