IRVING, Texas — After tying for the second-best 54-hole score in program history, WKU Lady Topper Golf sophomore Mary Joiner was named Conference USA Co-Women's Golfer of the Week by the league office Wednesday.
Â
This is Joiner and the Lady Toppers' first weekly honor of the season, but it's the third of Joiner's career. She won the award twice as a freshman following a pair of tournament victories.
Â
The Franklin, Ky., native finished third this week in a field with multiple top-100 individuals at North Florida's UNF Collegiate, carding a 4-under 212 (69-73-70) total at the par-72, 5,926-yard Jacksonville Golf and Country Club and tying her own career low previously reached in September at the USA Intercollegiate.
Â
The 212 tally was just one stroke off Ellinor Haag's program record of 211 set in 2014. Joiner now owns three of the top four 54-hole scores in Lady Topper history.
Â
She went a combined 9 under on par-5s throughout the tournament, including 7 under over the first two rounds. This is the fourth top-three performance of her career.
Â
Joiner set a new career low for 36 holes at 142 through two rounds, and her opening-round 69 tied her season low. Across the tournament, she had 36 pars, 10 birdies and an eagle.
Â
The Lady Toppers stay in Florida next week as they host the Spring Break Shootout in Tampa, Fla.
