SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Samford’s Christian Williams has been selected as the Southern Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week for all competition from Feb. 15-21. The selection is made by the league office.
 
Williams finished first at the ASU Spring Classic, which wrapped play on Monday, to earn her first collegiate victory. The sophomore from Tallapoosa, Georgia, posted rounds of 75-73-38 for a tournament score of 6-over-par 186. The final round of the tournament was only nine rounds due to darkness. Williams, along with her teammate Kelly Topiwala, finished the event with the best score on par-3 holes, shooting 1-under-par on those holes during the tournament.
 
Samford won the ASU Spring Classic, which featured eight teams and 41 golfers. The Bulldogs shot 310 in the first round, 312 in the second round and 149 in the final round.
 
This marks Williams’s first weekly honor of her career.


Samford returns to action on March 6-7 at the Huntsville.org Intercollegiate at Hampton-Cove Highlands in Huntsville, Alabama.
