Fort Hays State sophomore Samantha Hobson was named the MIAA Women’s Golf Athlete of the Week on Wednesday (Apr. 3) for her efforts at the Regis Invitational on Monday and Tuesday (Apr. 1-2).

Hobson finished second individually at the Regis Invitational in Lakewood, Colo. at the Fox Hollow Golf Course. She helped the Tigers rally from a fifth-place standing after the first day of competition to finish second overall in the final standings.

Hobson shot her lowest collegiate round on the second day, a 3-over par 75 after an 84 on the first day. She jumped from seventh individually after the first round to second in the final standings. It was the third time Hobson shot in the 70s this year and the 75 was well under her season stroke average of 83.1.

She collected her team-leading second Top 5 finish of the season.
