SUU’s Yongyuan Earns Big Sky Conference Weekly Award

CEDAR CITY, Utah-Southern Utah University freshman golfer Chanikan (Pluem) Yongyuan earned Big Sky Conference weekly honors for her individual title at the Hobble Creek Fall Classic Wednesday.

She shared this award with Eastern Washington’s Alexa Clark.

After carding a 76 in her opening round, she bounced back strongly and amassed two eagles, four birdies and nothing below par for the entire round.

The freshman out of Phitsanulok, Thailand also scored a 71 in the third round, bringing her three-day total to three-under 210.

Pluem and her teammates are next in action at the University of Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate at the Classic Club of Palm Desert, Calif.
