BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana sophomore Drew Salyers was selected as the Big Ten Golfer of the Week for the second time in three weeks, the league office announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Â
The Howard, Ohio, native earned his second-straight top-5 individual finish to open his second season with the Cream and Crimson. Salyers tied for fifth place at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational after shooting a 209 (68-72-69; -1) against some of the top teams across the country over the weekend.
Â
He helped to lead the Hoosiers to a sixth-place finish in the event, the best placing for the program since 2008 at the Olympia Fields Country Club. IU topped six teams ranked inside the top-25 of the Bushnell/Golfweek Preseason Coaches' Poll. His efforts propelled the Hoosiers up to No. 18 in the latest GolfWeek Poll, the highest ranking from any Big Ten program.
Â
Salyers (No. 12) was joined by senior teammate Mitch Davis (No. 98) inside the top-100 of the GolfWeek individual collegiate rankings. The two-time Big Ten Golfer of the Week has completed four of his six rounds this season with a scorecard under 70.
Â
He also earned the distinction after leading the Hoosiers to a third-place team finish at the Hoosier Collegiate Invitational over Labor Day Weekend at The Pfau Course.
Â
The Hoosiers will be back on the course for the Windom Memorial Classic hosted by Northwestern from Sept. 27-28 at the Lake Shore Country Club in Glencoe, Ill.
