PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Tulsa freshman Greta Bruner was named the American Women's Golf Player of the Week and earned the league’s final weekly honor of the season, the conference announced on Wednesday.
 
Bruner took home medalist honors and led Tulsa to the Dale McNamara Invitational title Tuesday afternoon at the Tulsa Country Club. She carded a 71-69-71 (211) over three days and won the event by six strokes over runner-up Camille Orito of New Mexico State. She was first in a field of 54 and defeated players from No. 27 BYU, No. 57 New Mexico State and No. 70 Fresno State.
