LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV women's golf junior Zi Yu Foong has been named the Raising Cane's Outstanding Rebel of the Week, the school announced Thursday.
Foong earned the recognition for the second time this season, while it's also the women's golf team's second of the year.
The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition from Monday through Sunday as voted on by the UNLV Athletics Strategic Communications department.
A native of Salangor, Malaysia, Foong led UNLV to its second straight conference title at the Mountain West Championship held on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club. Additionally, Foong tied for third with an even-par 216 (72-71-73) at the event.
She posted par-or-better scorecards in the first two rounds, including an even-par 72 in the first and a 1-under 71 in the second round. Needing a par-or-better score on the par-5 18th hole at the end of the final round, she delivered the championship-clinching birdie that helped UNLV hold off runner-up San Jose State by two shots.
