MALE GOLFERS OF
THE WEEK
Michael Davan,
IUPUI
Sr., (Hoopeston, Ill./Parkland JC)
Davan wins his first career award after finishing in a tie for
second place with a two-round 140 (71-69) at the Don Benbow
Invitational. The senior ended play in a three-way tie for first
but lost medalist honors in the playoff. He rolled in a 25-foot
putt on the 18th green to earn a spot in the individual
playoff and capture the team title for IUPUI. The win was IUPUI's
fourth of the season, one shy of the school record, and the
Jaguar's 36-hole score of 575 set a new school record. Davan leads
the league with a 71.77 stroke average.
Korbin Kuehn,
UMKC
Jr., (Overland Park, Kan./Blue Valley West)
Kuehn collects his second career award after winning the individual
title at the Jackrabbit Invitational last week. The junior scored a
three-round 205 (68-71-66) which ties the school record and his
final round 66 set a new personal best. Kuehn was in fourth place
entering the final round and won the title by two strokes. It was
his second career win after winning on the same course at the 2010
Summit League Championships.
