Alison Lee Named Pac-12 Women's Golfer of the Month

SAN FRANCISCO – Sophomore Alison Lee has been named the Pac-12 Women’s Golfer of the Month for November, the Pac-12 announced Monday. The honor is Lee’s second this year.

Lee, a native of Valencia, Calif., won her fourth career collegiate tournament, firing a 10-under par score of 208 at Nanea Golf Course in Hawaii to capture first place in the Pac-12 Preview and lead UCLA to a second-place team finish. The 19-year old started hot, shooting an opening round 68 (-5) and following with a 69 (-4) in the second round to take a three-stroke lead over the field after 36 holes. Lee was the only player in the tournament to post a pair of sub-70 rounds. She completed the final round by posting a two-under 71. (Par at Nanea GC is 73.)

In nine rounds this season, Lee is 21-under par. She leads the Bruins with seven rounds under par, and has posted five sub-70 rounds. In 43 career rounds, she boasts a scoring average of 70.7 and is 43-under par. In her career, she has also recorded 11 top-10 finishes, 13 top-20 results, 27 rounds under par and 15 rounds under 70.

GolfWeek ranks Lee as the nation’s No. 2 golfer.

This is UCLA’s third golfer of the month recipient this season (Lee won in September and sophomore Bronte Law won in October) and Lee’s fifth career golfer of the month award.
