ELMHURST, Ill. - North Dakota State seniors Nathan Anderson and Amy Anderson were named Summit League male and female Golfer of the Month by the league office Wednesday, Oct. 3. Kansas City's Korbin Kuehn was also honored on the men's side.
Nathan Anderson won two of his three tournaments during the first month of the season and had a 71.38 stroke average, just 0.05 behind Kuehn for the league lead. Anderson began the year with a first-place
finish at the Navy Fall Classic by firing a 36-hole school record-tying
138 (68-70), helping the Bison win the event.
He recorded his
second individual title and the second team title at the Jackrabbit Fall
Invitational with a 54-hole score 212 (74-68-70). The senior also took
fourth place at the Erv Kaiser Invitational with a 221 (75-72-74).
Anderson became the first Bison men's golfer to win two events in the
same season since 2006-07.
Amy Anderson placed in the top three
in all four of NDSU's tournaments. She won
the Jackrabbit Fall Invitational with a 54-hole 216 (71-70-75) to win by 10 strokes, guiding the Bison to a first-place team
finish. NDSU also took first place at the Concordia Cobber Open where
Anderson placed second with a 76.
At the Nebraska Chip-N Club
Invitational, she took second place with a 221 (74-73-74) and placed in a
tie for third at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational with a 222
(75-72-75). The Bison placed third and fourth, respectively,
at the two tournaments.
For the month, Anderson collected a 73.50 stroke
average which leads the league by more than 2 1/2 strokes. With her
first-place finish at the Jackrabbit Fall Invitational, she won her 16th career title, putting her one shy of the Division I record of 17 set by San Jose State's Juli Inkster, according to Golf World.
