Horsfield Tabbed SEC Freshman of the Week
Wednesday, February 24, 2016 | Men's Golf
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Breaking a school record over the weekend helped University of Florida men's golfer Sam Horsfield earn Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors, the league announced on Wednesday.
Horsfield fired a bogey-free -7 (63) in the opening round of the SunTrust Gator Invitational on Saturday, the lowest freshman round in program history. He now shares the conference's season-low round (63) with one other SEC golfer.
The Davenport, Fla., native went on to card a career-best tournament score of -9 (201) at the home event to earn runner-up honors. It was his fifth top-five finish of the year and third-consecutive top-three finish. Horsfield's stroke average of 70.29 ranks first among all SEC freshmen.
This week's SEC Golfer of the Week accolade went to Auburn's Michael Johnson.
Up Next: The No. 3 Gators return to action March 7-9, when they challenge the field at the Southern Highlands Collegiate in Las Vegas.
