KANSAS CITY, Mo. – After a dominating three-round performance at the SBU Invitational this week, the MIAA announced on Tuesday that Patrick McCarthy was named Golfer of the Week. Along with winning the tournament, McCarthy also led Missouri Western to a second-place finish at the event.

McCarthy earned his first tournament win of the season with a convincing four-stroke victory in Bolivar. He finished the event with a combined three-round score of 215 (-1). The junior entered Tuesday’s final round in a tie for second, but separated himself from the field with a score of 70 (-2) in the third round.

Out of the 243 total rounds among the 81 competing golfers, there were only four individual rounds at 70 or below. Two of those four scores of 70 or below belonged to McCarthy, as he also shot a 70 in the first round.

McCarthy and the Griffons will compete for a conference title at the MIAA Championship in Money Island, Oklahoma on April 24-26.
