DENVER –
Siripatsorn Patchana of the Grand Canyon women's golf team has been named the Western Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week, it was announced by the conference office.
Patchana, a freshman from Anusawaree, Bangkok, Thailand, battled a tough field at the Hawkeye El Tigre Invitational in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, finishing in a tie for sixth place.
Consistent the entire tournament, she used three identical rounds of 1-over-par 73 to earn the top-10 finish with a 3-over-par 219. Her score was better than four top-100 golfers and tied another as she managed the pressure well to lead the Lopes against several nationally-ranked teams.
Patchana joins teammate
Deanna Salvatori as WAC award winners this season.
GCU is back in action this weekend at the Red Rocks Invitational at Oakcreek Country Club in Sedona.
