ATLANTA- Fresh off the first win in Millsaps women's golf history, Lauren Durbin was named the Southern Athletic Association's women's golfer of the week. 

"We are very proud of Lauren winning this honor for the Lady Majors.  Lauren has been working very hard on her game this year and she is steady improving,"coach Eddie Brescher said on Wednesday.

Durbin erased a five-shot deficit by shooting a school-record 73 and forcing a three-way playoff at the Hal Sutton Invitational in Shreveport last week. She then calmly birded the first playoff hole, draining a 15-foot put for the win. Wednesday's award, just adds to the excitement. 

 "Winning this award is a big step forward for her and shows how much she is improving," Brescher said. " In just her first season in college, Lauren has grown a lot as a player and she has learned so much about her game that has made her a better player each week."

Durbin and the Majors are off this weekend before heading to Memphis and the Rhodes Invitational. Durbin and coach Brescher know that the win can be a huge building block for her and the program as a whole. 

"We still have a couple more events this spring that we are preparing for and that is our focus for the remainder of this season," Brescher said.
