NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Kennesaw State head coach Rhyll Brinsmead has set the lineup for the Owls as they head to the 2010 Atlantic
Sun Conference Women’s Golf Championship beginning on
Monday at the Venetian Bay Golf Club.
Ket Peamchuen, Jordan Lazenby, Patricia Arana, Abby Fitzgerald and Molly Winnett will represent Kennesaw State in just its second ever A-
Sun championship tournament. Last season, in their conference championship debut, the Black and Gold finished in fourth place.
Preamchuen leads the Owls into this year’s championship with a 74.9 stroke average and a team-best seven top 10 finishes. The freshman has a trio of top 5 finishes this season, including a pair of fourth place finishes and is playing her best golf of the year. The Chachoengsao, Thailand native has shot par or better in three of her last six rounds and fired back-to-back rounds of 71 during her sixth-place finish at the Rebel Intercollegiate, where she finished with a career-best 1-over par 217.
Lazenby, who finished in eighth place at last year’s championship, looks for another top 10 finish this season. She ended the fall with her lowest round of the year at the Challenge at Onion Creek (8-over par 218) and has once again hit her stride as the spring season came to a close. In the Owls last event, the Rebel Intercollegiate, Lazenby posted her lowest round of the spring, a 12-over par 228.
Arana, who earned A-
Sun All-Freshman team honors last season, is heading into the championships on a high note with two top 10 finishes in her last three events, including a season-best 7th place finish at the Eagle Landing Invitational. She has shot five rounds of par or better and scored a 2-under par 70 in the final round of the Bettie Lou Evans Intercollegiate and in the opening round of the Palmetto Intercollegiate.
Fitzgerald is also playing her best golf of the season heading into the championships as she is coming off two top 20 finishes in her last three matches. She posted an eighth place finish, her highest of the season, at the Jackrabbit Invitational and finished in 11th place at the Eagle Landing Invitational.
Winnett is looking to re-capture the form she had at the end of the fall season when she posted her two lowest rounds of the year in back-to-back events at the Palmetto Intercollegiate and the Challenge at Onion Creek. Winnett had her best spring showing at the Eagle Landing Invitational where she posted three rounds in the 70’s for the second time this year.
