JAKE SITTERLE OF SCHREINER UNIVERSITY, a freshman from Dripping Springs, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Men’s Golfer-of-the-Week for competition from October 9 through October 15.
Sitterle earned medalist honors after rounds of 69 and 70 for a 3-under-par 139 at the Trinity Alamo City Classic, which was played Monday and Tuesday at the Quarry Golf Club.
