SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Mercer graduate student Katie Scheck has been named the Southern Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week for all competition held October 29–November 4, the league office announced Wednesday. 

Scheck earned her third Golfer of the Week honor following a first-place individual finish at the Mercer Invitational, where she posted a 3-over-par 216. 

A native of Ooltewah, Tennessee, Scheck led the Bears at their home tournament, helping secure a first-place team finish. Her performance included a tournament-best 3-under on par 3s, a fourth-place ranking on par 4s, and a total of 43 pars—leading all competitors.
