Freshman paced the team to a seventh-place showing in California
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) -- Robby Turnbull has been named the Mid-American Conference Men's Golfer of the Week for the second time this season, the conference office announced, March 27. Turnbull, who was previously honored Feb. 20, was the team's top finisher at the Bridgestone Collegiate Invitational (March 23-24) in Napa, Calif., where Eastern finished seventh.
Turnbull (Auckland, New Zealand/Selwyn College) was the top Eastern finisher as he tied for 14th at 5-under 211 (71-72-68) to post his second under-par tournament score this season. Turnbull rose 10 spots in the standings in the final round as he was 4-under on the day with four birdies and no bogies. He also was 5-under over his final 21 holes of the tournament.
The weekly honor is the second of the season for Turnbull and the fifth for the team as Charlie Box (Leicester, England/Wreake Valley Academy/Hutchinson CC) earned three earlier this season. The five awards earned are the most in a single season since the records were kept starting in 2001-02, surpassing the four awards earned by the 2006-07, 2008-09, and 2021-22 teams. Turnbull and Box are two of 11 Eastern players to secure multiple weekly awards as Box is one of seven to have earned at least three in a career.
Turnbull and the Eagles are currently competing at The Goodwin, which is being played at the Stanford Golf Course in Stanford, Calif. March 26-28.
