MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following his 12th-place finish at the 2016 Big 12 Golf Championship, freshman Max Sear of the West Virginia University golf team has been named the WVU Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by University Apartments.
Sear capped a phenomenal freshman season by taking 12th at the 2016 Big 12 Golf Championship at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas, last weekend.
The Unionville, Ontario, native shot under par in back-to-back rounds to overcome a rocky start that saw him in 36th place after one round. After starting the tournament with scores of 79-74, Sear used five birdies in the third round to shoot a 71 and finish one under par in the round.
