STATESBORO – Georgia Southern junior women's golfer Haven Ward (77-69-68=214) was tabbed the Sun Belt Conference golfer of the week, following her fifth-place finish at the Valspar Augusta Invitational this past weekend.
Ward, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, rebounded after a first round 77 in Augusta, shooting back-to-back rounds under par to post her season best tournament tally. In round two, Ward carded a three-under round of 69, featuring five birdies.
She turned around on Sunday morning and posted a bogey-free four-under round of 68, moving 16 spots to solo fifth. Ward completed the weekend with 11 total birdies, surpassing the 10 she posted in Puerto Rico to begin the spring season. Her efforts in Augusta helped guide the Eagles to a seventh-place team finish and her consecutive rounds under par were the lowest of the season for the junior.
Georgia Southern returns to the course on Mar. 30-31 taking on the Coach Mo Classic hosted by Furman University at the St. Johns Golf and Country Club in Saint Augustine, Florida.
