Lobo Ewart Among ‘Ones To Watch’
GolfWorld magazine places University of New Mexico Lobo Jodi Ewart at No. 8 on the list of the top 10 women NCAA college players to watch for the 2009 season.
The list, appearing in the Sept. 7 issue of the magazine, also can be seen online at Golf World. No. 1 female player is Arizona State University sophomore Jennifer Song. Top male player is Oklahoma State sophomore Morgan Hoffmann.
The Lobo women’s golf team is ranked 25th in the nation in GolfWorld’s pre-season college coaches’ poll. Texas Tech is ranked 24th in the poll of men’s college coaches.
No New Mexico or West Texas players made the top 10 list of male players.
The same issue of GolfWorld contains an article on how PGA Tour player Jim Furyk came to be penalized for having 15 clubs — one too many — in the third round of the Barclays at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, N.J.
Ewart, a senior, is from Yorkshire, England. She will be in the field at the 2009 Branch Law Firm Dick McGuire Invitational Sept. 19-20 at the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course. For more, click here.
