Freshman Patty Tavatanakit of the UCLA women's golf team has been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Oct. 16-Oct. 22.

In just her second collegiate event, Tavatanakit shared medalist honors for her first victory. She battled back from a four-shot deficit heading into Wednesday's final round to shoot a 4-under 67 to finish at 6-under 207. Along with a second-place finish in her first event of her career, Tavatanakit has been under par in all six of her collegiate rounds.

Her first-place finish helped the Bruins come back from seven strokes down to win the Stanford Intercollegiate, defeating the host Cardinal by three strokes.

This is Tavatanakit's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week of the season and of her career.
