NEW ORLEANS – Georgia Southern's
Ben Carr has been named the Sun Belt Men's Golfer of the Week in a vote by the league's head coaches, the conference announced today.
Carr won the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate Tuesday, his third career collegiate win, after shooting 68-69-66=203 (-13), and he led the Eagles to a fourth-place finish. His total of 203 is tied for the eighth-lowest 54-hole score in school history.Â
The senior also tied for eighth at the Fighting Irish Classic Oct. 5, posting 69-70-67=206 (-4). He shot par or better in all six of his rounds in the two tournaments and posted a 68.17 scoring average in the events.Â
Carr finished in the top-8 in all four events in the fall and led the Eagles with a 68.50 scoring average. It is the first time the two-time All-Sun Belt selection has been named the conference's Golfer of the Week.
The Eagles return to action in the spring with the annual Thomas Sharkey Individual Collegiate Feb. 6-7 at Georgia Southern University Course.
