College Performers of the Week powered by Rapsodo: Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu, Oregon
Oregon is flying high these days, and for good reason.
Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu earned player of the week honors after leading the Ducks to their first-ever Pac-12 title in program history and claimed medalist honors along the way. Lu sandwiched a 66 between a pair of 72s to defeat Stanford’s Rose Zhang, the No. 1 ranked women’s amateur in the world, by four shots at 6 under.
“I can’t lie, I was pretty nervous this morning,” said Lu. “Like, I know I’m leading and our team is leading. But honestly I’m worried about our team score more than mine. So that kind of distracted me from my game …
“I was pretty nervous the first few holes but I kept telling myself, I need to reset my mind — today’s a brand new day, the third round, the last round. And it’s time to make some history.”
