2010 – LeTourneau University’s Les-lie Lee shot a final round 8-over-par 81 to finish the NCAA Division III Wom-en’s Golf Championships eighth Friday at the Mission Golf and Tennis Resort.

The junior golfer began the final round on the back nine and started with a birdie before bogeying 11 and finishing the three holes with a par on 12 to remain even for the day. She parred 13, but had back-to-back bo-geys to fall to 2 over for the round. Lee ended the back nine with two straight pars and a bogey to go to 3 over for the day and sat in seventh as she headed to the final nine holes of the tournament six back of the leader.

Lee, who finished the tournament with 34 pars and eight birdies, began the final nine holes on the front side and parred back-to-back holes before bogeying No. 3 to fall to 4 over for the day, but remained in seventh. On the next three holes, Lee parred 4, but double-bogeyed 5, before sinking a par on 6 to go to 6 over. Lee complet-ed the round with a par, sandwiched in between a pair of bogeys to end the

day at 8-over-par 81 and finished her very first NCAA Division III Women’s Golf Championship at 29-over-par 321.

Jessica Urban (Wisconsin-Stevens Point) won the tournament with a 313 as Paige Caldwell (Methodist Univer-sity) took second with a 314.

2011 – LeTourneau senior Leslie Lee wrapped up her standout colle-giate career with a final card of 84-89-94–267 on Friday at the NCAA Division III Women’s Golf Championship at the par-73 El Campeon Course at Mission Inn Resort.

Lee (Longview, Texas/Spring Hill) was just one of six individuals invited to the national event. She finished in the top 75 of the 100-plus field. Lee was making her second consecutive appearance at the national event after an eight-place finish in 2010.

In Lee’s four-year career, she won two ASC individual titles (2009-10) as well as a runner-up finish (2011) and a third-place finish (2008). Lee was a four-time ASC first-team all-conference golfer.

“I never thought I would play col-legiate golf when I was younger, but it was a great experience and taught me

many lessons I’ll never forget,” Lee said. “I’m thankful every day for the oppor-tunities I had to meet people from all over the country and enjoy some beau-tiful courses.”

Lee had an ASC-best scoring average of 79.9 this year and was never higher than 84.56 over four seasons.

Lee’s senior season was capped by being named to the All-Division III West Region team by the National Golf Coaches Association. She was joined on the team by two other ASC players.

In addition to being named an all-region selection, Lee garnered NGCA All-America Honorable Mention.
