COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Fresno State sophomore James Watney was named the Mountain West Golfer of the Week, the conference announced Thursday.
Watney delivered a career-best performance to lead the Bulldogs to the Nick Watney Invitational title, finishing second with a 9-under 204. He shot a 68 in each of the three rounds, marking his second top-10 finish of the season.
It was especially fitting for Watney to have a standout performance in an event named after his cousin, Nick Watney. This is the first MW weekly honor of the sophomore's career.
The Bulldogs also claimed their first home tournament victory since 2002.
