SPARTANBURG, S.C. – UNCG junior Bryce Hendrix has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Golfer of the Week for all competition from March 14-20. The selection is made by the league office.

Hendrix tied for third in the 90-player field at the Linger Longer Invitational at Reynolds Plantation in Eatonton, Georgia, shooting a 10-under-par 206 over the course of the three-day tournament. The Greenville, North Carolina, native opened his tournament with a 5-under 67 on Sunday before posting a 1-under 71 on Monday and finishing with a 4-under 68 on Tuesday. Hendrix finished ahead of six top-100 players, including four strokes clear of No. 6 Davis Riley of Alabama and five better than No. 9 Kyle Mueller of Michigan.
