DALLAS – WKU Golf swept the Conference USA Golfer of the Week awards, presented by Blenders Eyewear. Hilltopper Golf sophomore Riley Grindstaff won the weekly honor for the second time in his career while Lady Topper Golf senior Sarah Arnold picked up her first honor ever and the second for the program this season.
Grindstaff finished in third at the Pinetree Intercollegiate hosted by Kennesaw State on Tuesday, while leading the team to a tie for second place.
His finish was the best by any Hilltopper since the fall of 2019 and the team finish was the best by any WKU squad since the spring of 2017. Grindstaff posted a 54-hole score of 1-under 215, tying his collegiate career best. He shot 72-73-70 at the par-72, 7,108-yard Pinetree Country Club.
Arnold entered the third and final day of The Southern on Wednesday sitting in fifth-place. She shot 2-over 74 in the first round followed by a 1-over 73 in the second round in tough course conditions.
