Sandy Scott (Texas Tech) and Sophie Guo (Texas) have received Big 12 Golfer of the Month honors for October. Both student-athletes earned their first career Conference awards.

Scott was named to the Haskins Award Fall watch list after completing a fall schedule where he helped lead Texas Tech men to the Big 12 Match Play Tournament title. He clinched the championship match 2&1 and finished the event with a 3-1-1 record. The senior added a tied for fifth place finish at the Tavistock Collegiate, carding a 6-under par, 66, in the second round to help the Red Raiders to a fourth place team finish. Scott averaged a 70.0 stroke average for the month of October and enters his final spring season in Lubbock as the No. 8 GolfStat ranked player.

Guo earned her first collegiate victory at the White Sands Invitational, carding a 17-under par 199 54-hole total, becoming the first Longhorn to chart a sub-200 54-hole total. The 17-under par is also tied for the fourth best 54-hole total relative to par in NCAA history. The freshman added a fourth place finish at the Betsy Rawls Invitational, firing a school record 64 in the final round to serve as Texas’ leader in the clubhouse and help lead the Longhorns to the team tournament title. In the month of October Guo led the Big 12 in stroke average with a 67.7 mark and tallied four rounds in the 60s.
