Women's Golfer of the Week
Claudia Salvador, Central Michigan
Freshman, Madrid, Spain
Freshman Claudia Salvador, playing in just her fourth collegiate tournament, made Central Michigan history in becoming the first Chippewa to win a tournament when she captured the Mastodon Fall Invitational, hosted by Purdue Fort Wayne, at Pine Valley Country Club in Fort Wayne, Ind. Salvador held a one-shot lead entering the final round, during which she shot an even-par 71 -- the best round of the tournament in the 44-player field -- to win by seven shots. Her 71 tied for the third-best round in program history as she led the Chippewas to a runner-up finish in the seven-team event. Salvador's efficient final round included two birdies and two bogeys. She finished with nine birdies in the 54-hole event, best in the field.
