Lindahl earns AAC weekly recognition

MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (Sept. 23, 2019) – Milligan College freshman Michaela Lindahl, after earning medalist honors at last week's Mars Hill Invitational, earned Appalachian Athletic Conference golfer of the week honors Monday, announced the AAC office.

Lindahl led the Buffs to a runner-up finish at last week's event at Johnson City Country Club on the way to picking up her first league award of her young career. Lindahl carded rounds of 74 and 74 to edge the rest of the field by one stroke.

In two tournaments so far this season, Lindahl has held at least a share of the lead through 36 holes. In the Buffs' season-opening win at the Bob Dibble Match Play Championship three weeks ago, Lindahl scored rounds of 74 and 72 but lost the individual medalist honor on the third hole of a playoff.

Lindahl has a combined tournament score of 294 through four rounds this season, averaging 73.5.

Milligan will be back in action next week to host the East Tennessee Collegiate at Johnson City Country Club. The event will take place Monday-Tuesday, Sept. 30 – Oct. 1.
