• Borja, Chun Honored with All-Big Ten Second Team Accolades (4/26/23)
Monet Chun (April 19)
Big Ten Co-Golfer of the Week -- A season-low 208 (-8) tally helped junior Monet Chun to medalist honors at the Lady Buckeye Invitational and Big Ten Co-Golfer of the Week with Maryland's Patricie Mackova. Posting three straight sub-par tallies, Chun led the Wolverines from start to finish. After an opening 71 (-1), she posted a clean-sheet 67 (-5) with 13 pars and five birdies in the second round to put her fourth after 36 holes. Chun went 28 straight holes without a blemish on the scorecard before a bogey on No. 13 in the final round snapped her run, but she bounced back with two more back-nine birdies to make the turn to the front. Closing with a 70 (-2), she found herself up two spots in the runner-up position. As Mackova reached her final three holes with a two-shot lead, she bogeyed her final two holes giving Chun a share of the second tournament win of her career with a season-low 208 (-8) -- her second lowest 54-hole tally of her career. » Big Ten Release
Ashley Lau, Hailey Borja, Monet Chun (Aug. 31)
Big Ten Golfers to Watch -- Graduate student Ashley Lau, senior Hailey Borja and junior Monet Chun were named Michigan's Big Ten Preseason Golfers to Watch.
U-M is led by 2022 Big Ten Player of the Year and first-team All-American Lau. After winning three events last season, Lau set the program record with four in her career as well as the lowest single-season scoring average (71.84). She highlighted her summer play finishing third as an invited amateur at the Epson Tours stop in Ann Arbor, while also helping the International team win the Arnold Palmer Cup in Switzerland.
Behind Lau, the lineup is anchored by Borja. Last season, she became the first Wolverine to earn All-Big Ten honors three straight years and advance to the final round of NCAA Championships for a second straight year.
Big Ten medalist Chun returns as one of the mainstays in the lineup. After earning Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in 2021, she was an All-Big Ten selection for a second straight season. She continued her strong play in the summer, winning the Canadian Women's Amateur to earn a spot in the U.S. Women's Amateur, where she made a run to the final match before finishing as the runner-up. » Big Ten Release
