Salyers Named Big Ten Golfer of the Week

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana junior Drew Salyers was named the co-Big Ten Men's Golfer of the Week for the third time in his career, the league office announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Salyers earned the distinction after a historic performance at the Quail Valley Invitational over the weekend. The Howard, Ohio, native collected his second-career medalist performance after shooting a 199 (65-65-69; -17) at the Quail Valley Golf Club in Vero Beach, Fla.
He shot a 130 (65-65; -14) over the first 36 holes of the tournament to match the school record for lowest two-round score set by All-American Jeff Overton in both the 2003 Xavier Invitational and the 2005 Big Ten Championships.
The final tally for Salyers of 199 (-17) marked the second-lowest tournament output in program history and just the second occasion in which an IU men's golfer went sub-200 over 54 holes in an event. Overton accomplished the feat on three occasions, including a school-record 192 at the 2004 Xavier Invitational.
Quail Valley marked the eighth top-10 performance in the three years Salyers has suited up for the Hoosiers.
Salyers previously earned Big Ten Men's Golfer of the Week honors on Sept. 8 and 22, 2021.
The Hoosiers are slated to close out the fall portion of the schedule at The Williams Cup Presented by STITCH Golf from Oct. 21-23 at the Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington, N.C.
