EVANSTON, Ill. – Junior Hannah Kim picked up her second All-America honor of the year on Tuesday, receiving Third Team laurels from Golfweek. Earlier this month Kim received a Second Team nod from the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA).
Kim won her second consecutive Mary Fossum Award this season, given annually to the Big Ten's best performer relative to par, and picked up her third consecutive First Team All-Big Ten recognition. She was the only Big Ten golfer on Golfweek's three All-America squads.
Kim's 72.2 stroke average in 2016-17 is the third lowest in school history (she also posted the No. 1 mark last season), and her 72.86 career scoring average is the best in the Wildcats record book.
This marks Kim's second straight All-America recognition from both the WGCA and Golfweek, as she earned WGCA First Team and Golfweek Second Team laurels in 2016.
The two-time Big Ten Player of the Year recently received an exempt spot at the 2017 United States Women's Amateur Championship by virtue of her No. 24 position in the current World Amateur Golf Rankings. The competition returns to California this year for the first time since 1993 and will be hosted at San Diego Country Club, in Kim's hometown of Chula Vista, from August 7-13.
