Bucknell's Minjoo Lee Repeats as Big South Women's Golfer of Week
Sept. 24, 2009 LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell sophomore Minjoo Lee (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston) earned her second straight Choice Hotels Big South Women's Golfer of the Week award on Thursday after another strong showing at the Princeton Invitational. Lee shot a 1-over-par 73 in the final round at Princeton on Sunday, helping the Bison break a school record with a team score of 307. Lee's 73 was one shy of her career-best, which is also the school record, set last season at the Rutgers Invitational. Combined with an opening-round 78, Lee shot 151 for the tournament and finished in a tie for sixth place, five shots behind winner Joanna Coe of Rollins. Lee also finished sixth a week earlier at the Bucknell Invitational and won Big South Player of the Week honors for that effort as well. Last week she became the third Bucknell player to win the award, and now she is the first to do it back-to-back weeks. Bucknell's 307 was a team mark by one shot, bettering the 308 set in April 2008 at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in Oklahoma. The Bison opened with a 313 at Princeton and also broke the school 36-hole record of 620. Bucknell finished fifth in the event, trailing only Rollins, Harvard, Princeton and Penn. Lee now has a 75.8 scoring average in five rounds this fall. That average ranks seventh in the Big South. Lee and Courtney Meyer of Gardner-Webb are the only two players in the league with two top-10 finishes so far in 2009-10.
The Bison are back in action on Oct. 3-4 at the Penn State Invitational. |
