Jeon shot a 64 to set the single day tournament record on\u00a0 Sept. 22 and finished the three-day invitational with a 205 (-11), the lowest 54-hole score recorded in the tournament\u2019s 45-year history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled with how well our women\u2019s golf team performed this weekend in a field of tough, high-level competition,\u201d said DSC President Tom LoBasso. \u201cTo go up against NCAA programs and come away as the runners-up is tremendous, and the record-setting performance from Jiwon was outstanding. This is definitely a proud moment for the Falcons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behind Jeon\u2019s first round performance, which also matched the DSC school record for the lowest single round score, the Falcons ended day one in first place at the Lady Paladin Invitational with a team score of 284 (-4). DSC slipped into the runner-up spot during Saturday\u2019s second round when tournament hosts, Furman, began to tighten up on their home course. The Falcons finished in second with a team score of 867 (+3) behind the Lady Paladins\u2019 857 (-7).<\/p>\n

\u201cI was extremely pleased with the overall team performance this weekend,\u201d said DSC Head Coach Laura Brown. \u201cEvery single player contributed to this finish. It was very exciting for them to compete at this level and to do so well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am especially happy for Jiwon and her record-breaking performance,\u201d said Coach Brown. \u201cTo set not only the single round record, but the 54 hole scoring record was incredible. Quite an impressive accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the reigning NJCAA Division I National Champions, the Falcons are off to a good start in the 2017-18 season. Earlier this month in their first tournament of the year, Daytona State topped a field of eight on their home course at LPGA International for the Lady Falcon Invitational.<\/p>\n

The Daytona State women\u2019s golf team also earned top honors in the classroom last season, taking the title of \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0NJCAA Academic Team of the Year with a team GPA of 3.89.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
