CALDWELL, Idaho - College of Idaho's Reece Garey was named the Cascade Collegiate Conference McDonald's Women's Golfer of the Week, presented by Urban Edge Network, after capturing the CCC Fall Preview individual title in dramatic fashion.
Garey opened the tournament with a stellar 70 (-2), carding five birdies to claim the first-round lead. She followed with a composed 74 in cold, rainy conditions to finish at 144 over two rounds, tied with the University of British Columbia's Keira Hou for the top spot.
The two met on hole 10 for a playoff that quickly turned into a thriller. After both golfers made par on the first hole, Garey stayed calm as Hou found a bunker on the second. Garey drained a three-foot par putt to clinch the win and send her teammates into celebration.
Her standout performance helped the Yotes post a team score of 642 (314-328), tying Lewis-Clark State College for third place overall.
