Waynesville, N.C. - Belmont senior golfer Lorie Warren captured her fifth individual title of her collegiate career when she earned medalist honors at the Great Smokies Intercollegiate held Monday and Tuesday in Waynesville, North Carolina. In the team results, the Bruins finished in 15th place.
Warren, the reigning Tennessee Women's Amateur Champion, posted a three-under 69 in Tuesday's final round to capture the title over Wofford's Sarah Hunt by one stroke. Her 36-hole score of 138 broke her own school record by three shots and was the second lowest individual score in the history of the tournament.
