BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - After strong starts in the spring opener, Fred Biondi was named SEC Golfer and Miguel Leal Freshman of the week, the conference office announced.

The Senior secured medalist honors as after his lone bogey on day three, he birdied six of the next 14.
Making his collegiate debut, Leal shot a 66 (-4) in his first round. He finished T5 and fired his second round in the 60s (68) in the final round to cut five strokes off his round two of 73. The redshirt-freshman recorded 12 birdies to round out six Gators that placed in the top-10.
The Orange and Blue aim to defend its home course at the VyStar Credit Union Gators Invitational at Mark Bostick Golf Course from Feb. 11-12. Action gets underway on Saturday at 8 a.m.
