NEW YORK – Creighton's Tucker Knaak has been named BIG EAST Male Golfer of the Week after picking up his first collegiate win over the weekend at the UNI Invitational.
Knaak fired a 3-under 69 on Sunday to earn a two-stroke victory at the UNI Invitational at the Pheasant Ridge Golf Course in Cedar Falls, Iowa. After carding a 74 in Saturday's first round, the freshman from Plainview, Neb., had a 69 in the final round, the lowest round by any player in the tournament that day. It was Knaak's first victory as a collegian, as he became the first Bluejay to win a meet since Kade Brown won the 2016 Jackrabbit Invitational.
