Women's Golf Southern Conference

UTC's Britt Named Women's Golfer of the Week

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Chattanooga senior Jordan Britt has been named the Southern Conference women’s golfer of the week for all competition from March 12-18. The selection is made by the league office.

Britt posted her second top-five finish in three spring events over the weekend, tying for fourth at the 3M Jaguar Intercollegiate in Augusta, Ga. The Chattanooga, Tenn., native turned in a three-round score of 7-over 223 for the tournament, shooting 76, 75 and 72.

The tournament featured five teams ranked in the top 50 and five individuals in the top 100, with Britt topping a pair of top-60 golfers, including No. 28 Jenny Hahn of Vanderbilt.

Britt’s even-par 72 in the final round was one of just eight rounds of par or better shot the entire tournament, and her 74.33 stroke average was 4.57 better than the tournament average of 78.90.

The weekly award is Britt’s second of the season and her career, as she also claimed the honor on Feb. 26.

Chattanooga returns to action at the Briar’s Creek Invitational in Johns Island, S.C., on Monday and Tuesday.

Also nominated: Haley Zagoria (Appalachian State), Emily Brooks (Elon), Stephanie Carlozzi (Furman), Sammie Buchanan (UNCG), Sydney Needham (Samford), Kristin Swindell (Western Carolina) and Lauren Dunbar (Wofford).
