A pair of outstanding golfers will share the season’s first award as Cal State San Marco’s Kiara Hernandez and Cal State LA’s Joshlyn Ayala are the FloCollege/CCAA Women’s Golfers of the Week.
Both Hernandez and Ayala shot a two-under par 142 to finish tied for second at the RJGA Shootout at Estrella in Goodyear, Ariz. Vanguard’s Theresa Shaw was the medalist at three-under.
Hernandez led the No. 9 ranked Cougars to a team title at the event as CSUSM tallied a three-over, 579 two-round score. The senior from Burbank, Calif., had the best score on Tuesday with a tournament-low 68 to rally before coming up short of catching the leader.
Ayala, who entered Tuesday a shot behind Shaw, led Cal State LA to a second place showing at plus-nine 585. The senior from Downey had a share of the lead going into the final hole before bogeying.
Both Hernandez and Ayala are earning their CCAA Golfer of the Week award for the second time in their careers. Click here to see a complete list of past weekly award winners.
