Lu Earns Second Pac-12 Golfer Of The Month Honor
05/03/22 | Women's Golf
EUGENE, Ore. – Sophomore Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu has been selected as the Pac-12 Women's Golfer of the Month for April, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Â
Lu claimed her second conference Golfer of the Month honor of the season after becoming the second Duck ever to win the individual Pac-12 title on April 20th at Eugene Country Club. The sophomore shot 6-under par – fueled by a 6-under 66 in the second round – to claim individual medalist honors and lead No. 2 Oregon to the first team Pac-12 championship in program history.
Â
Lu's 6-under 66 was one stroke shy of matching the Pac-12 Championships single-round scoring record.
Â
Currently No. 11 in the individual Golfstat national rankings, Lu earned her second straight all-Pac-12 first-team honor following her win at the Pac-12 Championships. She is the first player in program history to receive first-team all-conference awards in back-to-back seasons.
Â
On the season, Lu leads the Ducks with a stellar 72.23 scoring average through 10 tournaments (30 rounds). She has shot par-or-better in 14 of 18 rounds this spring and 19 of 30 rounds on the season, including a team-best five rounds in the 60s.
Â
Lu was also named the Pac-12 Golfer of the Month for September after setting the program's individual 54-hole record at 17-under par to win the Mason Rudolph Championship.
Â
Lu and the Ducks will compete at the NCAA Albuquerque Regional on May 9-11 as the top seed in the 12-team field, with the top four finishing teams advancing to the NCAA Championships on May 20-25 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.
