Salvo and Cho will take part in today’s event for the second consecutive year. Neither moved on to the state championship last season in Rancho Cucamonga.
Salvo, a Glendale resident and a senior on the Sherman Oaks Notre High squad, reached today’s round after she carded a one-under-par 72 during the CIF Southern Section Individual Final on Thursday at Diamond Bar Golf Club. The Harvard University-bound Cho, a senior from Crescenta Valley High, fired a 76.
Those rounds should give the tandem plenty to shoot for.
“You have to focus on the little things and be mentally prepared,” said Salvo, who missed advancing to the state championship by three strokes last year. “You’ll have to be able to break par.
“I’ll have to look back on what happened last year and see what I did wrong last year and then see what I’ve done well on this year.”
Cho, who helped the Falcons win their second consecutive Pacific League championship, moved on to today’s round by one stroke. A strong short game might help her qualify.
“I have to try and work on my chipping,” Cho said. “It can be a little better.
“If I can stay relaxed out there and play like I normally do, then we’ll see what can happen.”
