SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Southern Conference announced today the conference's golfers of the week with Wofford's
Bella Kent the SoCon Women's Golfer of the Week honoree. The selections are made by the league office.
This is Kent's third SoCon Golfer of the Week honor in her career and first since November 6 of last season when she was the co-honoree alongside teammate and 2025 graduate of the program,
Regina Parra.
"Bella had all aspects of her game clicking at Elon!" said head coach
Angie Ridgeway. "I saw her nearly hole out three times from the fairway. She did stumble on her last four holes Monday afternoon, but she did a great job of putting that behind her by the time she started her final round Tuesday."
Kent led the Terriers in the Elon Invitational Monday and Tuesday as Wofford placed sixth in the event. The native of Berkshire, England, carded a 4-over 217 at the Alamance Country Club to place in a tie for 12
th, recording her first top 20 of the season and the 13
th of her career. She opened the event on day one with a 71 in the first round and concluded the 36-hole day with a 73. Another 73 followed in the final 18 holes to secure her spot in the top 20.
With a par-4 average of an even 4.00, Kent tied for the second-best mark in the 78-player field. Alongside Kent,
Lilli Horn also placed in the top 20 with a 13
th-place result, just one stroke behind. The duo aided in the Terriers placing sixth in the 14-team event with a score of 875.
The Terriers return to the course with the Tot Hill Farm Invitational on September 29 and 30 in Asheboro, North Carolina. The two-day event is hosted by College of Charleston.
