ROCK HILL, S.C. – After carding a school record tying three-round, 10-under-par 206 and finishing in a tie for first place at North Georgia's Mizuno Intercollegiate on Tuesday, Anderson junior Calahan Keever has been named the South Atlantic Conference Men's Golfer of the Week, as announced by the conference office Wednesday morning.
The Greenville native's record-tying effort helped propel the Trojans to the tournament title in a field that boasted twelve of Golfstat's latest top-25 ranked teams - including five of the top 10 squads in the nation - with AU outpacing third-ranked Lee, which was earlier tabbed No. 1 in the nation in the Golfweek Coaches Poll. The Trojans also outdistanced No. 5 Lincoln Memorial, seventh-ranked North Georgia, No. 8 Georgia Southwestern and No. 10 USC Aiken.
Keever finished the 54-hole event tied at the top of the leaderboard.
The bi-weekly award is awarded to the top golfer in the SAC based on their results from the previous two weeks of play.
The Trojans will get back on the links, Monday and Tuesday, at the AFLAC Cougar Invitational, which is scheduled to be held at the Country Club of Columbus (Ga.).
