Li Tallies Empire 8 Accolades for Third Time This Season
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Sophomore Sharon Li was the tournament medalist with a score of 143 at the Martin & Wallace Invitational hosted by Cortland and was named Empire 8 Women’s Golf Athlete of the Week announced Monday.
She posted 2-under-par 70 in the opening round and followed that up with a 73 in Sunday's second round. It is believed to be the first under-par score over a two-day tournament by any Empire 8 player in women's golf history.
Li was 16 shots better than the nearest competitor, and the score of 70 in the first round was a school-record single round score by an individual. Her total of 143 was a two-day school record by an individual. The Bombers romped to a 24-shot victory in the team scoring and shattered the team scoring marks for single-round and tournament scoring.
The Bombers will next compete at the Williams Fall Classic on Oct. 6 and 7.
