Porter Cup
Naomi Ko started off her summer with a third place finish at the 2017 Women's Porter Cup on June 9. The 54-hole tournament was held at Niagra Falls Country Club in Lewiston, N.Y., and is considered to be one of golf's biggest amateur tournaments.
The Victoria, BC, native shot 71-70-74 for a one-under total of 215, improving her finish from last year when she took T7th overall.

Both won their first match in the championship flight, as Ko defeated Grace Curran 3 & 2 and Overbey edged out Monet Chun in 19 holes. While Overbey fell 5 & 4 to Janet Mao in the Round of 32, Ko managed to make it to the quarterfinals with a 4 & 3 win over Gabby Curtis.
