Tucson, Ariz. After winning the NCAA Championship in Sunriver Ore., on
May 27, University of Arizona senior golfer Jenna Daniels was named the
Rolex Golfer of the Month for the second consecutive month and third time
this season. It is only the second time in the five-year history of the
College Golf Foundation that an individual has been named the Rolex College
Golfer of the Month three times in one season. The first was Tiger Woods
of Stanford, who was named the Rolex College Golfer of the Month three
times during the 1995-96 season (February, April & May).
Daniels won the individual title at the Women's Division I NCAA
Championship, her third Rolex Collegiate Tour win of the season. She shot
73-69-68-77 (287, 1-under) while leading Arizona to its second national
championship. The Wildcats, who won nine tournaments this season, set a new
school record winning their last eight tournaments to close out the season.
Daniels also tied for 15th place at the NCAA West Regional. She shot a
five-over par 221 (74-71-76) while helping to lead Arizona to the team
title.
Daniels was named the Eleanor Dudley College Player of the Year, and won
the Golfstat Cup Award for lowest stroke average during the 1999-2000
season (71.71). Ranked No. 1 in the final edition of the MasterCard
Collegiate Golf Rankings, Daniels finished the month of May with a stroke
average of 72.57 in seven rounds.
