Lee Earns WGCA All-American Second Team Honors
BOULDER GÇô Sophomore Esther Lee of the University of Colorado womenGÇÖs golf team was recognized by the WomenGÇÖs Golf Coaches Association on Friday as she was named to the All-American Second Team.
In her first year competing for the black and gold, Lee put together one of the best seasons in CU history, finishing her 2014-15 campaign with a team-best 73.03 stroke average. She recorded 10 top 20 finishes, which is tied for second most all-time in a single season and also notched a school record 72.25 spring stroke average.
The Los Alamitos, Calif., native won her first collegiate tournament, earning medalist honors at the Bay Area Intercollegiate this past spring where she shot a school record 206 in the 54-hole meet. Her record-setting performance included back-to-back 67s in the first two rounds. All-together, she tallied five rounds in the 60s, which is also a single-season school record.
Lee helped guide the Buffs to 11 top 10 finishes, tying the 2010-11 squad for most all-time in one season and a school-best fifth place in the Pac-12 Championships. CU also earned a bid to the NCAA Regionals, finishing 12th in St. George, Utah.
