Sophomore finished second and helped Creighton team to Kelsey Chugg Invitational title
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton sophomore Katherine Lemke has been named the BIG EAST Golfer of the Week, the league announced on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
Lemke, who won the BIG EAST Championship in the spring, compiled rounds of 73, 75 and 72 to tie for second place with a 220 total at the Kelsey Chugg Invitational. It was her fifth career top-five finish in 13 events at the collegiate level. Lemke was tied for the lead after she started her final nine holes, but Montana State's Scarlet Weidig-Velazquez birdied five of the final eight holes to earn the four-shot victory in the field of 68 golfers.
The award is the second weekly recognition of Lemke's career, as she was named BIG EAST Co-Golfer of the Week on Oct. 13, 2021 after winning the Creighton Classic.
The Creighton team won the 10-team event in Eden, Utah, topping the field to earn a five-shot victory. Â Creighton fired consecutive rounds of 296 on Monday before closing with a 303 to hold off runner-up Montana State by five shots. The win was Creighton's third tournament title in the last four seasons, but first in an event with nine teams or more since winning the Eastern Illinois Lady Panther Intercollegiate in October of 1999.
Creighton returns to action on Monday for the Boston College Intercollegiate in Canton, Mass.
