University of Memphis sophomore Keven Fortin-Simard was named the Conference USA Golfer of the Week on Thursday for his play during the week of March 15-21.
Fortin-Simard, who was also named the National Golfer of the Week by Golfweek.com and Golf World, won medalist honors at the Border Olympics with a 54-round school record 203 (66-69-68). The previous record was 205 set by former teammate Andy Shiels last season.
The Roberval, Quebec native helped the Tigers place second in the tournament held at the par-72 Laredo (Texas) Country Club. Fortin-Simard has won three tournaments this season and has had three-straight top six performances. His four career victories are the most in Tiger history.
UCF senior Ashley Grier earned the C-USA Women's Golfer of the Week after posting her best finish of the season with a third-place showing at the Waterlefe Invitational.
The Tigers will next compete in the Carter Plantation Intercollegiate on March 27-28.
