Potgieter Earns SBC Weekly Honors For Second Time

NEW ORLEANS – After posting his second consecutive top-5 finish at the Old Corkscrew Intercollegiate, Louisiana's Malan Potgieter was named the Sun Belt Conference Golfer of the Week, the league office announced on Thursday.

Potgieter, who was named the SBC Golfer of the Week on March 13 after his individual title at last month's Louisiana Classics, earned his fourth top-5 performance of the season as he finished in a third-place tie at 2-under-214.

The junior, who posted his 10th career top-10 performance, finished five shots behind individual medalist Nolan Taylor of FGCU (209) and one stroke behind second-place finisher NaShawn Tyson of FAU (213).

Louisiana will compete in the Aggie Invitational beginning on Saturday at the Traditions Club in College Station, Texas. The 54-hole tournament is the final tuneup for Louisiana prior to the Sun Belt Conference Championships, scheduled for April 21-24 at Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Miss.
