ANN ARBOR, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan University junior Alyssa Kwon (Richmond Hills, Ontario-Richmond Hills) capped a stellar performance by sharing medalist honors at the Wolverine Invitational Sunday afternoon here at the par 71, 6,167 yard U-M Golf Course. As a team, the Eagles finished in a three-way tie for third place in the 14-team field that featured some of the region's best golfers.
The Richmond Hills, Ontario native torched the U-M Golf Course Saturday with rounds of 75 and 75 before turning in a final round 77 to finish at 14-over par 227. Michigan's Alicia Weber and Florida International's Meghan MacLaren also notched a two-day totals of 227 en route to being named co-medalists.
The victory marked Kwon's first career tournament title along with equalling the third lowest 54 holes round of her career. Kwon's three-round record is a 223 set at the Lumberjack Shootout at Wigwam, March 14-16, 2011, and at the Pat Bradley Invitational, Oct.23-25, 2011. Her victory also marked the second time an EMU student-athlete has won the Wolverine Invitational, Stephany Fleet carded a 219 (72-70-77) in 2007 to take home the hardware.
In her career, Kwon has two top-five showings and four top 10 finishes. Overall, Kwon is the sixth Eagle to claim medalist honors in the program's 17-year history joining Stepthanie Smoot, Kelly Pickett, Catherine Fortin, Stephany Fleet and Sarah Johnson in the select group.
Michigan and Florida International were declared co-champions after both finished with 930 totals. FIU was two shots behind at the start of the final round but outscored the Wolverines, 312-314, on Sunday. EMU, Xavier and Illinois and all tied for third place at 933.
