Last week, ASU won its second Rolex Collegiate Tour event of the season, the SJSU Spartan Invitational. During the fall, ASU also won the World/Palmetto Dunes Invitational.
Park, who won the Rolex Fall Preview by setting a tournament 54-hole record with a six-under par 210, finished in a second place tie at the SJSU Spartan Invitational last week. Her other top finishes include a third place finish at the Stanford Women's Intercollegiate and a tie for fourth place at the Golf World/Palmetto Dunes.
