Georgina Blackman
WKU AthleticsWestern Kentucky senior golfer Georgina Blackman turned in the highest conference finish by a Lady Topper in 20 seasons Wednesday, finishing fourth at the Conference USA Championship with a record-low score.
Blackman shot a 2-over 74 in Wednesday’s final round for a three-day total of 3-over 219, the lowest conference tournament score by an individual in program history. Blackman broke her own record of 220 from last year in her senior send-off at the par-72, 6,194-yard Verandah Club in Fort Myers, Fla.
Blackman’s fourth-place finish is the best in a conference tournament by a Lady Topper since Beth Blevins tied for second in the 1998 Sun Belt Conference Tournament.
