Senior finished third of 90 golfers at EKU Intercollegiate
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State's Johnny Watts, coming off a third-place finish at the EKU Intercollegiate, was selected as the Mid-American Conference Men's Golfer of the Week.
Watts took third out of 90 golfers at the University Club at Arlington, holding the lead at some point in each of the three rounds. The senior from Fishers, Indiana, matched his career-best 54-hole total with a score of 207 (-3) after rounds of 65, 71 and 71.
Watts' opening 65 (-5) was the lowest of his career and tied for the fourth-best ever by a Ball State men's golfer. He posted the 12th top-10 of his career and helped the Cardinals to a fourth-place finish in a field of 16 teams.
A three-time All-MAC performer, Watts has now earned the league's golfer of the week award twice during his career.
Ball State returns to action next week in Dallas, Texas, competing Sunday through Tuesday at SMU's Trinity Forest Invitational. The field features six teams that reached last season's NCAA Championships, including national champion Oregon.
