JACOB MASON OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a sophomore from Westminster, Colo., has been selected the SCAC Men’s Golfer-of-the-Week for competition played from Wednesday, October 5 through Tuesday, October 11. SCAC Golf Release (Week 5)
Mason fired a 65 on Tuesday - the best round of the tournament - to tie atop the leaderboard with a three-round score of 208 (-5) and lead Trinity to a team victory at the Alamo City Classic contested at The Quarry Golf Club in San Antonio. Mason's herculean effort launched the second-year Tiger up six places on the individual leaderboard to force a playoff for the individual championship, but fell in the first playoff hole on the par-4 10th.
The sophomore, who started Tuesday's final round tied for seventh at +1, birdied the first three holes he played during his final round and finished the Par 71, 6.699 yard track with seven birdies against just one bogey.
