KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – University of Tennessee sophomore Mariah Smith garnered Southeastern Conference Golfer of the Week honors, as announced by the conference office on Wednesday.

She leads the teams with seven rounds of par or better this season including one in the first round in the Westbrook Invitational where she finished tied for 48th this week.
