OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton sophomore Katherine Lemke has been named the BIG EAST Golfer of the Week, the league announced on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
Lemke, who won the BIG EAST Championship in the spring, compiled rounds of 73, 75 and 72 to tie for second place with a 220 total at the Kelsey Chugg Invitational. It was her fifth career top-five finish in 13 events at the collegiate level. Lemke was tied for the lead after she started her final nine holes, but Montana State's Scarlet Weidig-Velazquez birdied five of the final eight holes to earn the four-shot victory in the field of 68 golfers.
