LEXINGTON, Ky.?Senior Katie Johnson has been named the University of Kentucky women?s golfer of the week as announced by the coaching staff.

Johnson enjoyed an outstanding tournament placing in a tie for 24th overall and second on the team in scoring at the Lady Seahawk Invitational. The Lexington native was the only member of the team to card three rounds in the 70s, led by a second round 75.

?She has been working diligently on her mental game over the last month,? said Coach Stephanie Barker. ?It was great to see her game come together for her this last week.?

The Blue and White teamed for a final round 314 in the tournament?s final 18 holes to hold steady in ninth place. Kentucky fended off 10th place finisher Charleston Southern who finished 10 strokes behind the Wildcats. Kentucky?s five golfers were all within 11 strokes of one another in the final scores.

Kentucky returns to action April 9-10 in the 2007 Indiana Invitational. That will be the final tune-up for the Wildcats prior to the SEC Championships April 20-22.
