Lake Forest College women's golfer Faith Jung was named Midwest Conference Performer of the Week on Tuesday for her performance at the UW-Whitewater Fall Invitational over the weekend.
Jung, a freshman, finished in a tie for sixth place out of 96 golfers at the tournament with a 36-hole score of 166. Her opening round of 85 was a season-best and included eight pars and a birdie on the 150-yard, par-3 fifth hole. She improved her season-best score by four shots on Saturday, firing an 81 also featured eight pars to go along with back-to-back birdies on 10 and 11, two par-4s measuring 310 and 262 yards, respectively.
The Foresters finished fifth out of 17 teams at the event with a two-day score of 706, which is the third-lowest 36-hole mark in the team's four-year history.
Jung's performance over the weekend improved her scoring average on the season to 88.6 and made her one of six players on the team at 90 or better.
