Megan Hinker

Mitchell, S.D. – Tiger athlete-of-the-week award goes to Senior, women’s golfer Megan Hinker after a big start to her spring season tying for first place.

Megan Hinker posted a strong day one in the not so favorable conditions at the Meadowlake Intercollegiate meet. On day one, after the front nine, she was even with a 36, but the back nine proved to be trouble in the condition as she was nine strokes over par after holes 14, 16, and 17 to close out the first of two rounds. Her second day was much better even though it was still cold. Through the first nine holes of her second round, she was three over par after shooting a bogey on holes three, four, and seven. Hinker was able to grab a pair of birdie shots on the back nine though as she went six strokes over par on day two, tying her for first place with a +15.

Hinker and women’s Tiger golf is back in action next week on April 3-4 when they make the short trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota to compete in the Hardrocker Invitational.
