Sophomore won the Big O Classic on Tuesday
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton sophomore Eleanor Hudepohl has been named BIG EAST Women's Golfer of the Week after winning the Big O Classic on Tuesday.
Playing as an individual, Hudepohl (70-74-75=219) brought home medalist honors with a two-shot victory over St. Thomas junior Courtney Wedin (71-79-71=221). In Tuesday's final round, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native was part of the first group to tee off the back nine and promptly birdied No. 11, 12, 16, 18 and 2 to build a lead as large as eight strokes at one point.
The win was Hudepohl's first at the collegiate level and the first by a Bluejay in an event with 55 or more competitors since Leigh Sutton topped 110 competitors at the 8th Annual Springlake Classic in March of 2005. The Big O Classic featured 58 competitors overall on the Par 73 Oak Hills Country Club course that measured 5,952 yards.
Hudepohl, who took second at the Creighton Classic last fall at Oak Hills Country Club, now leads Creighton with a 74.78 scoring average this fall.

The Bluejays close the fall season next Monday at Tuesday at the Loyola Fall Invitational on Oct. 10-11 in Libertyville, Ill.
