9/8/2021 3:05:00 PM | Men's Golf
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana sophomore Drew Salyers has been named the Big Ten Golfer of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday afternoon.
The accolade is the first in the career of Salyers. He 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.
The Howard, Ohio, native earned the individual title at the event after shooting a 208 (68-72-68; -5) through three rounds. He carried the field by two strokes to become the first Hoosier since Brendan Doyle (2017) to place first in an individual stroke-play tournament.
Salyers was one of 11 golfers to shoot under 70 in any round in the tournament and one of just two players (Indiana freshman Ethan Shepherd) to have multiple rounds under 70 strokes.
The Hoosiers will be back on the course for the Fighting Illini Invitational from Sept. 17-19 at the Olympia Fields Country Club in Chicago.
