Johnathan Chen Named UAA Golfer Of The Week

Johnathan Chen Named UAA Golfer Of The Week

Emory University junior Johnathan Chen (Sugarland, TX) has been selected by the University Athletic Association as Golfer of the Week following his performance at the NCAA Division III Championships  (May 14-17) in Sandestin, Florida. It marked the second time during the 2012-13 campaign and fourth time in his career that he has been selected for the honor.

Chen spearheaded the Eagles to a fourth-place finish at the Championships out of the 41 teams that originally started out, the program's best-ever performance, by posting a 72-hole score of four-over par 289 (75-70-73-71), good for a third-place tie with Clay Hinton of Transylvania in the 210-player field.  Chen's third-place finish enabled him to capture First Team All-America honors.  In addition, his third-place finish represented the school's second-best individual performance at the NCAA Championships, second only to Lee Palms' first-place performance in 1991. 

Chen concluded the year second on the squad with a 75.4 strokes-per-round average.
