March 16, 2006
Complete Release in PDF Format Shannon Johnson, Indiana Johnson earns her first Big Ten Golfer of the Week honor after blistering the Boulder Creek Golf Course with her school record of five-under par 211 (68-75-68) at the UNLV Spring Invitational last week. The Hoosier senior transfer blew past the field by recording birdies on three of her last five holes to finish four strokes ahead of second-place Alejandra Shaw of Campbell (215). She topped the former three-round school record of 212, set by former All-American Karen Dennison in 2002 and became the first IU golfer in school lore to record two separate rounds of 68 in the same tournament. Additionally, Johnson became the second Hoosier in school history to record rounds of 69 or below twice in her career (Dennison). The victory was Johnson's second of the 2005-06 campaign. She also captured medalist honors at the Notre Dame Invitational on Sept. 11. LAST IND GOW: Danah Ford (4/20/04)
