MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State men's golfer Carter Smith has been named the Mid-American Conference men's golfer of the week following his runner-up finish at last week's Everett Buick GMC Classic in Little Rock, Arkansas. Smith carded three under-par rounds while shooting 11-under par over 54 holes and finishing one stroke behind tournament champion Jake Springer of Troy.
Smith's 11-under for 54 holes and his 6-under 66 in the second round both were career bests for the junior from Silver Creek High School in Sellersburg, Indiana, who won the MAC's weekly award three times last season.
