BOCA RATON, Fla. – For the second straight week, and after winning her second tournament in as many tries (and in as many tournaments so far here at FAU), senior Letizia Bagnoli has been announced, by the league Wednesday, as Conference USA Women’s Golfer of the Week.
Bagnoli set a course- and program-record with a 7-under-par final round 65 Tuesday, leading the Owls to the Hoover Invitational team victory, and giving her her second medalist honor in eight days. Her final round is the lowest both by strokes, and to par, in program history, and with her 9-under-par 207 total, she finished as the top individual by seven shots (and helped the Owls win the team portion by 10 strokes).
The Florence, Italy, native was the only golfer in the 69-player field to finish par-4 holes in the red, at 5-under, five better than the tourney runner-up’s even par. Bagnoli was 3-under on par 5’s and 1-under on par 3’s (tying her for second and third, respectively), and tied for the most birdies in the field for the tourney with 14.
The Owls are back at it on the course Oct. 4-5, co-hosting the Jupiter Women’s Invite in Port St. Lucie. The tournament will be held at the PGA Golf Club.
