All-American honour for Jodi Ewart

after stellar season on college circuit

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
English stroke-play champion Jodi Ewart has been honoured for her stellar performances on the United States women’s college circuit over its 2008-2009 season.

The University of New Mexico student has been named to the Duramed National Golf Coaches Association Division I All-American First Team.

It’s over 20 years since a University of New Mexico woman student was named first team All-American.

"It puts the cherry on top of the sundae for Jodi's season," said college head coach Jill Trujillo. "It has been her main goal for the entire year. She is a rare player that sets that type of goal and works her hardest to reach it.”

Jodi’s 2008-09 season was the best-ever by a UNM woman golfer. The three-time Mountain West Conference Player of the Year finished the season ranked ninth nationally in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index . She had seven top-five finishes in 10 tournaments, including two wins.

Jodi, from Catterick Golf Club in Yorkshire, is an England international and a Curtis Cup player.
