by ST. PAUL, Minn. – University of Minnesota Morris senior Payton Sierra (Oglala Lakota) won the first UMAC Women’s Golfer of the Week award on Tuesday following her victory last week in the Cougar Classic.
Playing at the Deacon’s Lodge Golf Course in Breezy Point, Minn., Sierra shot a round of 85 on the par-72 course that included a 41 on the front nine. That round was five shots better than anyone else in the field and helped the Cougars card a winning team score of 391 against two other UMAC opponents.
Minnesota Morris will be back in action on Thursday with the UMAC Preview at the Pebble Creek Golf Club in Becker, a one-round event that will give golfers a look at the course where the UMAC Championship will be held in October.
