IU selected Team of the Week; Erdy Big Ten Golfer of the Week

With a top-10 national ranking and a Big Ten Match Play Championship, the IU men’s golf team has plenty to brag about this season.

The Hoosiers have something else to add to their recent recognition.

After the Hoosiers finished second in the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship, Golfweek named them “Men’s Golf Team of the Week,” and freshman David Erdy was named Big Ten Men’s Golfer of the Week by the conference. 

With Erdy’s recognition, IU now has two golfers named “Golfer of the Week,” as senior Jorge Campillo was selected for the week of Feb. 18.

Erdy earned his selection for his stellar play in the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship, leading his team with medalist honors in the qualifying rounds and winning his first two matches. Erdy joined Campillo and junior Alex Martin as the three Hoosiers to have won medalist honors this season.

The Hoosiers earned the team title despite being runner-ups in the tournament. After qualifiers, IU was seeded No. 1 for the tournament and defeated No. 5 Stanford and defending champion UCLA before losing to Middle Tennessee State.

The Hoosiers hope to play well against stiffer competition in the United States Collegiate Championship in Atlanta. The field is comprised of the nation’s top teams and some familiar foes from Stanford and UCLA.
