Indianapolis, Ind. - Youngstown State sophomore Puthita Khuanrudee has been named the NikeŽ Horizon League Women's Golfer of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
Khuanrudee earned medalist honors on Tuesday at the Benbow Invitational at Jacksonville Beach Golf Club in Jacksonville, Fla. She carded a two-round total of 146 (76-70) to win the individual title by one stroke over Jessie Kweon of St. John's. The sophomore's one-under-par 70 in the final session on Tuesday marked the lowest round of her career. Her final-round performance is also tied for the eighth-lowest 18-hole score in program history.
Khuanrudee entered the final round two shots off the lead in a tie for fourth place. She earned medalist honors for the second time this season and for the second time in her career. She also shared medalist honors with teammate Victoria Grans at the Roseann Schwartz Invitational this past September. Khuanrudee earns golfer-of-the-week honors for the first time in her career.
The YSU women's golf team is scheduled to continue its spring season on April 4-5 with the Dolores Black Falcon Invitational hosted by Bowling Green at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green, Ohio.
