</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Baylor’s Gurleen Kaur and Britta Snyder have been named to the 2021 All-Big 12 Women’s Golf Team, giving the Bears multiple All-Big 12 honorees for the fifth time in program history, as
announced Thursday by the conference office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Kaur and Snyder were among 11 players named to the team, which is chosen based on an average of the season’s final Golfstat and Golfweek/Sagarin individual rankings. Baylor joins
Oklahoma State and Texas as the only programs with multiple honorees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A Houston, native, Kaur earned the second All-Big 12 honor of her career, following her All-Big 12 recognition as a sophomore in 2019. There were no All-Big 12 Teams named following
the 2020 season cut short by Covid-19, so Kaur joins Hannah Burke and Hayley Davis as the only players in program history named to consecutive All-Big 12 Teams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">An Ames, Iowa, native, Snyder is the fourth Baylor player to earn All-Big 12 recognition as a freshman, joining Hannah Burke (2007), Hayley Davis (2012) and Dylan Kim (2015).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Kaur broke the Baylor single-season record with a 71.97 stroke average across 34 rounds, while Snyder posted the best stroke average by a freshman in program history with a 72.27
mark across 37 rounds. Snyder’s average ranks fourth among all players on the Bears’ single-season stroke average list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Kaur will enter her fifth-year senior season ranked second in program history with a 72.64 career stroke average across 108 rounds. She’s tied for fourth in program history with
14 career top-10 finishes and tied for fifth with seven career top-5 finishes. Kaur led the 2020-21 Bears in top-5 finishes (4) and par-4 scoring (4.08) and ranked second on the team in rounds at par or better (17), par-3 scoring (3.04), below-par percentage
(20.1), par-or-better percentage (82.4), total birdies (120) and birdie percentage (19.6).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Snyder led the Bears with 21 rounds at par or better and seven top-10 finishes during her 2020-21 freshman season. She also led the team in below-par percentage (21.2), birdie
percentage (20.1), total birdies (134) and eagles (7) and ranked second on the squad in par-5 scoring (4.77).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Kaur ranked No. 38 nationally in the final Golfweek individual rankings and No. 55 in the Golfstat player rankings, while Snyder was No. 58 in the Golfstat player rankings and
No. 62 in the Golfweek individual rankings. All five members of Baylor’s NCAA Championship lineup finished the season ranked in the top-150 of the Golfweek individual rankings, with Kaur (No. 38) followed by Elodie Chapelet (No. 59), Snyder (No. 62), Rosie
Belsham (No. 99) and Hannah Karg (No. 150).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Bears advanced to the NCAA Championship for the sixth time in program history and earned a 14<sup>th</sup>-place finish, notching the fourth top-15 national finish since
2015. BU expects to return four of the five players from their NCAA Championship lineup, with Kaur returning for a fifth-year and Snyder, Belsham and Karg all back as sophomores for the 2021-22 season.
