GREENVILLE, S.C. – Furman's Audrey Ryu has been chosen as the Southern Conference Women's Golfer of the Week for all competition from October 2-8. The selection was made by the league office.
A sophomore from Dublin, Ohio, Ryu finished fourth last weekend at Old Dominion's Evie Odom Invitational in Virginia Beach, Va., leading the Paladins to a second-place finish in the 14-team, 78-player field. She posted rounds of 73-68-69=210 to finish at even par for the 54-hole tournament and ranked second with a 4.75 scoring average on the par 5s.
Ryu recorded a team-high four birdies in round one then paced Furman with a 68 on Saturday, playing a flawless round with consecutive birdies on No. 5 and No. 6. In Sunday's final round, she birdied three out of four holes from No. 5 through No. 8 and added a fourth birdie on No. 16 to card a 1-under 69 and secure fourth place.
Furman will conclude the 2024 fall season at the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C., Oct. 25-27.
