Junior Kayla Burch of the women’s golf team is the eighth Taco Bell Athlete of the Week for the 2012-13 academic year. She is earning the award for the second time of her career.
Burch, who was also named the ASC Co-Women’s Golfer of the Week, became the first player in program history to win an individual title at a tournament by firing a 157 at the Schreiner Fall Classic on Oct. 16. She tied with St. Mary's golfer Cami Furgeson and won by a scorecard tiebreaker due to recording a mark of 76 in the final round. Her two-round total of 157 was also a school record.
Burch, an accounting major from Magnolia, Texas who carries a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average, is the daughter of Amy and Dan Burch. She has one sister, Emily.
