Durisic, Chul-Ak-Sorn Split Cyclone Club Honors

AMES, Iowa - Iowa State senior Liyana Durisic and sophomore Karisa Chul-Ak-Sorn have been named the Cyclone Club Athletes of the Week after earning co-medalist honors at the Big 12 Women's Golf Championship.

It marked the first time in Big 12 history that a pair of teammates stood together at the top of the standings and just the fourth time in league history that a team had the top two finishers in the standings.

The pair earning medalist honors are the third and fourth in program history and second and third at a Big 12 Championship.

Chul-Ak-Sorn entered the final day of the tournament in the lead, but it was Durisic that made the late charge to the top of the leaderboard. Durisic shot a 68, her second-best round of the year, in the final round to move up to match Chul-Ak-Sorn.

Durisic had just one bogey on the day, while adding a pair of birdies on both the front nine and the back nine. Chul-Ak-Sorn tallied a 73 in the final round and was even on the final three holes to earn a share of the title. Chul-Ak-Sorn registered three birdies on the day.

Their 207 over 54 holes was the lowest conference championship score in school history and the fourth-lowest in Big 12 Championship history.

The NCAA Selection Show is scheduled for Wednesday, April 24 at 1 p.m. on the Golf Channel.
