BLYTHEWOOD, South Carolina - Furman sophomore Jenny Suh (Fairfax, Va.) claimed her first collegiate title on Sunday with a three-round 224 at the Lady Gamecock Invitational. In addition, the Furman squad carded a final round 311 to finish second as a team, 10 strokes off the winning pace of the University of New Mexico.
