DENVER – The National Collegiate Athletic Association Women's Division I Golf Regionals were selected Wednesday night. Following a standout sophomore season, including a second straight Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year honor, NM State's Pun Chanachai was chosen as an NCAA individual qualifier for the Madison, Wisc. regional.
Chanachai earned the nod after leading the WAC in stroke average at 72.68. In 11 events played, the sophomore posted six top-5 finishes, including three individual championships. The Bangkok, Thailand native's low round of 63 at the Col. Wollenberg's Ram Classic set a new WAC record for low round and 14 of her 31 rounds were at or below par.
