BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Morehead State freshman
Marisa Kamelgarn earned her third Golfer of the Week Award from the Ohio Valley Conference the league announced on Wednesday.
Kamelgarn, a native of Mahopac, N.Y. shot a final round 72 (even par) to rocket from 12th place to second overall at last week’s EKU Lady Colonel Classic in Richmond, Ky. After rounds of 75-76-72, Kamelgarn finished the event at 223 (+7), which was just one stroke behind the individual medalist. The finish helped Morehead State to the tournament championship, four strokes ahead of second place in the field of 17 total teams. It was the third team title for the Eagles this season. Entering next week’s OVC Championship, Kamelgarn leads the OVC with a 75.9 stroke average.
It marks the second straight week a MSU women’s golfer has earned the weekly award. Emma Jonsson earned the award last week. Kamelgarn also was named OVC Golfer of the Week twice in the fall.
Morehead State will next play in the OVC Championship April 22-24.
