As the San José State women's golf team concludes one of the best fall seasons in recent history, senior Natasha Andrea Oon adds another accomplishment to the already long list for the Spartans as she was named the Mountain West October Women's Golfer of the Month.
Oon had two top-ten finishes in the month with a 69.50 stroke average. She tied for 10th at the Illini Women's Invitational at Medinah where she shot a four-under 212 for the tournament (73-70-69). Oon followed that up a few days later by shooting an eight-under 205 at the Stanford Intercollegiate to finish in third place. She shot a 66 in the final round, one-shot better than her playing partner and the world's top amateur, Rose Zhang of Stanford.
San José State ends the fall season ranked in the top-11 in two national rankings, and three players are ranked in the top-40 of the Golfstat player rankings.
Below are just a few of the highlights from the fall.
