Eastern Michigan University golfer Savannah de Bock has been named the Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Week for Sept. 18. The recognition marks the first MAC Golfer of the Week award for the EMU Women's Golf program in the 2026–27 season.
This honor is the third career MAC Golfer of the Week selection for de Bock, who previously earned the title twice in the 2024–25 season on Sept. 27 and Oct. 31. Her award builds upon a consistent record of conference accolades for Eastern Michigan, bringing the program’s total to 13 MAC Golfer of the Week awards since the start of the 2024–25 season.
De Bock’s selection continues a strong trend set by the Eagles in recent years. During the 2024–25 season, EMU collected three weekly honors, with teammate Riley Kim earning an award on March 7 alongside De Bock's two honors. The Eagles followed that with a dominant 2025–26 campaign, securing nine conference golfer of the week awards. That nine-award total was shared among three EMU golfers: Janae Leovao (Sept. 19, Feb. 20, March 13), Jasmine Leovao (Oct. 24, Feb. 20, March 27), and Baiyok Sukterm (Oct. 10, April 3, April 10).
Entering the final round in fifth place, de Bock fired a 4-under 68 to finish at 7-under 209, clinching the individual title by a single stroke. The performance marked her second collegiate individual title, tied for the third-lowest 54-hole score in EMU history, and secured the 28th individual crown in program history. Supported by de Bock's performance, the Eagles posted a team score of 1-under 863 to successfully defend their Chambers Bay team title, finishing ahead of NCAA Regional qualifiers Oregon State University and Southern Methodist University to claim the program's 31st team championship and 13th overall sweep.
Up next, the Eagles head to Wolcott, Colorado, to compete in the Golfweek Red Sky Classic from Sept. 21–23 at Red Sky Ranch and Golf Club. Ranked No. 20 in the preseason Golfweek Top 30, Eastern Michigan will face a competitive 20-team field that features five other preseason Top 30 programs: No. 2 USC, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 14 Pepperdine, No. 16 Louisiana State University and No. 30 Arizona.
