Hannah Burke honoured


NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Hertfordshire’s Hannah Burke scooped a host of honours when she was runner-up in the Big 12 Conference women’s championship on the US college circuit.
Hannah, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, is a senior student at Baylor University, Texas and this was her 13th career top-five finish – a new college record. The 22-year-old from Mid Herts has had five top-fives this season alone.
She also shares the college record for 21 top-10 finishes – and for that achievement she was named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team. She’s the first player from Baylor to win this recognition three times.
In the championship, at the Jimmie Austin OU club in Oklahoma, Hannah finished eight shots behind Oklahoma State’s Swedish player Caroline Hedwall. After a four-over 76 in the first opening round, Hannah shot two-under over the final 36 holes with back-to-back 71s.
Baylor head coach Sylvia Ferndon said: “I couldn’t be prouder of Hannah finishing second; she deserves it. She’s been a great leader.”
