IRVING, Texas — WKU redshirt sophomore Billy Tom Sargent’s victory on his home course Tuesday earned him Conference USA Men’s Golfer of the Week honors, as announced Wednesday by the league office.
Sargent fired a 3-under 69 for the second straight round in Tuesday’s finale in WKU’s Kenny Perry Invitational at The Club at Olde Stone, holding off Eastern Kentucky’s Will Sallee by two strokes with an 8-under, three-round total of 208 (70-69-69) – matching the best 54-hole effort of his career.
After starting his round 3 over through five holes, Sargent went 6 under the rest of the way – with four birdies and an eagle – to claim the victory.
