Andrew Rhodes Named MAC Men's Golfer of the Week
April 09, 2008 | Men's Golf
Andrew Rhodes, a junior member of the Ball State University men's golf team, has been selected as the Mid-American Conference Men's Golfer of the Week by the league office.
Rhodes (Sweetser, Ind./Oak Hill H.S.) was selected for his performance at the Marshall Invitational April 5. The originally scheduled 54-hole event was reduced to a one-day 36-hole tournament due to inclement weather.
Rhodes was the top MAC golfer at the the Marshall Invitational with a 72-70=142, which tied him for 14th overall in the field and the best league golfer of the five schools represented.
Ball State and Miami University tied for ninth in the 17-team field.
This marked the first time Rhodes has received the league's weekly award. Rhodes is in his first season of competition with the Cardinals. The 14th place tie matched his best individual finish of the season. He also tied for 14th at the John Piper Intercollegiate Sept. 10-11 in his collegiate debut.
Rhodes ranks third for the Cardinals this season with a 74.43 average.
Ball State will return to action Sunday and Monday at the Kentucky Owens/Brewer Invitational at the University of Kentuck Big Blue Golf Course.
