CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte freshman Conor Purcell has been named the Conference USA Men's Golfer of the Week after his runner-up finish at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate this week. Purcell's opponent had to birdie the 17th and 18th holes to top the 49er by one.
"What a great honor for Conor," remarked Head Coach Ryan Cabbage. "He is very deserving. The Jerry Pate tournament is one of the best tournaments in college golf and to finish second there by one shot, as a true freshman, in only his third collegiate event, is tremendous.
