Sophomore had a career-low 71 on Sunday
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton sophomore Amelia Lee has been named BIG EAST Golfer of the Week, league officials announced on Thursday.
A Castle Pines, Colo., native, Lee shot rounds of 72 and 78 on Saturday before an even-par 71 on Sunday to tie for 41st at the Red Rocks Invitational with a 221 total. Sunday's round by Lee was Creighton's first this season of par or better, and the best loop by a Bluejay since Sarah Eversman's 68 on March 14, 2016 in the same 2016 ORU/SFA Women's Spring Break Invitational. Lee's 72 on Saturday was tied for the fourth-best round by a Bluejay since 2003, and her 221 was the second-best 54-hole total in the program's last 16 years.
Â
The team's 296 score on Sunday ranks as the program's lowest 18-hole performance since 2003, and came 24 hours after an opening-round 299 that was the program's first round under 300 since the second round of the 2016 ORU/SFA Women's Spring Break Invitational on March 14, 2016.
Â
Eighteen teams and 105 competitors participated at the Red Rocks Invitational, which was won by New Mexico State. The meet was contested at Agave Highlands in Cornville, Ariz., which measured 5,919 yards and was a par 71 course.
Creighton's 901 total was eight shots better than the College of Charleston's 909 total that won last year's Red Rocks Invitational.
Lee is the second Bluejay golfer to be honored by the BIG EAST this season, as Rachel Grenko was recognized on Sept. 20, 2018.
