Texas Tech’s Vodickova and Gregg Sweep Big 12 Golf Weekly Awards

Texas Tech’s Denisa Vodickova (women’s) and Ben Gregg (men’s) collected Big 12 Golfer of the Week awards after leading the Red Raiders to top-two team finishes and top-three finishes individually.

Vodickova captured medalist honors at the MountainView Collegiate, firing a career-low 9-under 207. The sophomore posted two rounds in the 60’s, including a 5-under 67 in the second round, doubling her season total of sub-70 rounds. The Red Raiders finished second in the event at -16, shooting the low number for the second and third rounds. It is the first weekly honor of her career.

Gregg helped the Red Raiders to a six-stroke victory at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational, a field that featured 10 top-25 teams. Texas Tech came in at a tournament-record -45, capturing its first team title of the season. The junior led the Red Raiders with a career-best finish, tying for third at 13-under 200. He recorded back-to-back career-low rounds versus par with 5-under 66's in rounds two and three. It is his first Big 12 in-season honor.
