Emory University freshman Mariana Chong has been recognized by the University Athletic Association as Women's Golfer of the Week following her performance at the MCC Intercollegiate (Apr. 11-12). It marks the second straight week that she has been selected for the honor.
Playing on the 5,821-yard, par-72 course at the Montgomery Country Club in Montgomery, Alabama, Chong tied for third place out of 50 players, ending the 36-hole with a score of one-over par 145. After shooting a 75 on the first day of action, Chong established a program record when she carded a two-under 70 over the final 18 holes of action. Included in that historic round were five birdies.
Emory ended the MCC Intercollegiate fourth out of 10 squads with a score of 610 (302-308).
