Thompson Named the GAC Golfer of the Week

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Southeastern's Emma Thompson was selected as the GAC Golfer of the Week after finishing fourth at the WinStar Invitational.
 
Thompson becomes the second player to earn Golfer of the Week recognition for the SE women's golf program, joining Karen Kim, who picked up the program's first honors last season.
 
The McKinney, Texas native was an instant impact for the Savage Storm team in her first tournament wearing the blue and gold, as she shot even-par 216 across 54 holes of play. The sophomore transfer set the tone early in round one, carding a 4-under 68 with seven birdies, which tied the lowest individual round at the tournament.  
 
Thompson's second round was highlighted by an eagle sunk on the par 4 hole 12, and she would finish the round 1-over 73. The sophomore rounded out her first tournament with a 3-over 75 in round three and would finish with ten total birdies after adding two more on the final day.
 
Southeastern returns to the course on September 14-15 at the NSU Women's Classic in Tulsa, Okla., at the Page Belcher Golf Course.
