TCU’s Nathan Miller (men’s) and K-State’s Noa van Beek (women’s) captured Big 12 Golfer of the Week honors after strong finishes earned each at least a share of medalist honors at tournaments.
Miller turned in three scorecards in the 60's, tying for first place at the Watersound Invitational with a 9-under 201. The freshman from Dallas used a 4-under 66, birdieing three of the final five holes to finish in a three-way tie atop the leaderboard at The Third Golf Course at Watersound Club. The Horned Frogs finished the event at -10, finishing third in an event that featured four top-15 teams.
van Beek posted a school-record 14-under 202 to win the Westbrook Invitational, making back-to-back birdies to break a three-way tie atop the leaderboard to capture her first collegiate win. The senior from The Netherlands played her final round at Westbrook Village Golf Club at 5-under par, using her final-round 67 to help K-State shoot a 54-hole school-record -27 and finish third in a field that featured 10 teams from the Big 12, Big Ten and SEC.
