Aernouts Named OVC Golfer of the Week

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – After a strong three-round performance to lead Little Rock at the ULM Invitational, junior Eleonore Aernouts has been named Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Week.

Aernouts finished ninth overall with a three-round total of 217 (+1) at Bayou DeSiard Country Club, pacing the Trojans in a competitive field.

She opened the tournament with a 1-over 73, recording multiple birdies to position herself near the top of the leaderboard. Aernouts followed with another steady round of 73 (+1) in Round 2, continuing her consistent play across both nines.

Aernouts closed strong on Tuesday with her best round of the tournament, firing a 1-under 71. Her final round featured multiple birdies and a steady approach throughout, allowing her to climb into the top 10.

"This is an honor that has been a long time coming for Eleonore," Little Rock head coach Jenna Birch said. "She has put in a lot of hard work and truly earned this recognition.
