IRVING, Texas — After winning her first career tournament, WKU Lady Topper Golf's Megan Clarke was named Conference USA Women's Golfer of the Week on Wednesday.
Â
The sophomore Clarke took medalist honors Tuesday at the Little Rock Golf Classic with a career-low, 4-under 212 (72-67-73) total.
Â
This is her first career C-USA weekly honor and WKU's third of the fall. Junior Mary Joiner won back-to-back Golfer of the Week awards to open the season.
Â
Clarke came into Tuesday's final round one shot back of the lead but took control with a 1-over 73. She led the tournament field in total birdies (12) and par-5 scoring (7 under).
Â
The Heckmondwike, England, native's second-round 67 tied for the second-lowest round in program history, and she set new career lows for 18, 36 and 54 holes. Her previous best finish was a tie for 11th at the 2018 Conference USA Championship.
Â
Clarke's efforts helped WKU finish fourth as a team in the tournament despite Joiner being forced to withdraw due to illness.
Â
The Lady Toppers return to the course in the spring at Jacksonville's Amelia Island Collegiate on Feb. 18-19 in Fernandina Beach, Fla.
