An secures back-to-back honors, while Bryant claims her first career weekly honor

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Oral Roberts junior Kevin An and Denver senior Emma Bryant garnered the Kwik Star #SummitGF Peak Golfer of the Week accolades, League officials announced Thursday. An earned the third weekly honor of his career and second consecutive on the men’s side, while Bryant claimed the first of her career on the women’s side.

An once again finished with the lowest score among the Golden Eagles at the Hal Williams Collegiate, tying 15th with a 54-hole total of 208 (-5). The Riverside, Calif., native closed out the tournament with back-to-back rounds in the 60’s, including a season-low 67 (-4) in the finale that featured six birdies.
 
An now has five rounds of par of better in his last two tournaments and made a team-best 12 birdies in his second event of the spring.

Bryant has posted a pair of top-15 finishes in consecutive weeks, including a second-place finish at DU’s spring opener at the FAU Paradise Invitational. She opened her spring season with a 67 en route to a 54-hole total of 208 (-8). The Aurora, Colo., native made 11 birdies and had no worse than a bogey during the three-round event.

Bryant backed that up, tying for 13th at the San Diego State Classic where she carded rounds of 70-73-75 to finish the 54-hole event with a 218 (+2) total. She made eight birdies and was the top Pioneer finisher for the second straight event.
