NEW ORLEANS – Texas State's Sakke Siltala was named the Sun Belt Conference Golfer of the Week following his season-best placement at the Kapolei Invitational held Tuesday-Thursday in O'ahu.
The junior tied for second in the 87-player field to help lead the Bobcats to finish tied for fourth on the team leaderboard, the best outing for the team this campaign. Siltala carded a season-low 66 in the event's opening round and went on to register rounds of 74 and 73 to see all three rounds count toward the team's score. His opening round included four birdies, an eagle and zero bogies.
