University of Hawaii freshman Momo Sugiyama was named the Big West Golfer of the Month on Tuesday, then posted her seventh top-10 finish of the season.

Sugiyama carded a round of 1-over-par 73 to finish in a tie for sixth place in the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic in Maricopa, Ariz., and led the Rainbow Wahine to a seventh-place finish in the 22-team field. The Wahine shot a final-round 293 to close the tournament at 891.

Punahou graduate Claire Choi earned medalist honors to lead Santa Clara to the team title. Choi, a senior, shot a 72 to finish with a three-round total of 3-under 213 and captured her first collegiate individual title. Her round helped the Broncos finish three shots ahead of Long Beach State in the team standings.

Sugiyama, from Gold Coast, Australia., picked up her second Big West award of the season with two top-three finishes in March. She tied for third at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational and posted a second-record total of 211 in a runner-up finish at the Fresno State Classic.
