DALLAS, Texas — WKU Lady Topper Golf's Bailey Tyree has won her first Conference USA Women's Golfer of the Week award, the league announced Wednesday.
Â
The junior Tyree put together her best performance to date this week at WKU's own Spring Break Shootout in Florida, finishing third with a career-low, 1-under 212 (68-73-71) total.
Â
Tyree's 212 is tied for the third-lowest 54-hole individual score in Lady Topper history. She tied with a teammate for the tournament lead in par-3 scoring.
Â
Tyree set career lows for 18 and 36 holes on Monday, including a first-round 68, which ties for the fourth-lowest single round in program history.
Â
Her efforts helped WKU shatter its previous program records for 18-, 36- and 54-hole team score. The Lady Toppers broke their previous record for 54 holes by 11 strokes on Tuesday with a 5-over 857.
Â
They tied co-host Florida Gulf Coast in the team standings, but dropped to second on a fifth-player tiebreaker.
Â
Tyree's first career C-USA weekly honor is WKU's fourth of the season from three different golfers. Junior Mary Joiner won back-to-back awards to open the season, and sophomore Megan Clarke closed the fall with her first career weekly accolade.
Â
The Lady Toppers' next tournament is the Memphis Women's Intercollegiate on April 1-2 in Germantown, Tenn.
