Missouri State's Verena Gimmy has been named Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week after earning medalist honors Tuesday (Sept. 26) for the second time in her collegiate career. The senior from Munich, Germany fired a two-under-par 214 over 54 holes at Meadowbrook Country Club in Tulsa, stringing together rounds of 70-70-74 to post a three-stroke victory.
A three-time all-conference performer, Gimmy led the Bears to the MVC Championship last spring by finishing second at the league tournament. In two outings this season, she's averaging 73.17 in six rounds with a 15th-place finish in the season opener in addition to her win at ORU. She previously claimed the individual title at the Little Rock/ASU Invitational as a sophomore in 2016.
