GREENVILLE, S.C. – Furman's Audrey Ryu has been selected as the Southern Conference Women's Golfer of the Week for competition the week of Jan. 29 - Feb. 4.  This is Ryu's third golfer of the week recognition this athletic year.  

Ryu, a sophomore from Dublin, Ohio, tied for 11th to lead Furman at the Puerto Rico Classic, which was hosted by Purdue Sunday through Tuesday at the Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.  She posted rounds of 66-74-75=215 to finish at one-under par.  Ryu opened the tournament with a career-low 66, playing a flawless round with six birdies and 12 pars.  She concluded the event tied for first with 13 birdies, which was punctuated by birdies on the final two holes of the tournament. 

Second-ranked Arkansas won the Puerto Rico Classic, while the Paladins placed 14th in the 18-team field, which included many of the top teams in the nation. 

Furman will compete at the MountainView Collegiate in Tuscon, Ariz., March 2-4.
