Three different women’s golfers earned medalist honors this week, and each is being honored by the Missouri Valley Conference.  Brooke Newell of Missouri State, Taylor Ledwein of Bradley are this week’s MVC Golfers of the Week.

Brooke Newell of the Missouri State women’s golf team carded a 75 in the final round of play to win the ORU Spring Invite at The Club at Indian Springs on Tuesday.  Over the course of three rounds, Newell shot a 71-68-75 – 214 to blow away the tournament field as she finished with an eight-stroke advantage on Junie Khaw of Tarleton State.  Overall, MSU carded an 302-290-308 – 900 to finish 2nd among the seven-team field. The Bears were just two strokes behind Little Rock, who won the event.  Johanna Wollenhaupt (74-75-76 – 225) and Abby Cavaiani (74-73-78 – 225) joined Newell in the top-five as they finished tied for fifth.
