SPARTANBURG, S.C. – ETSU’s Jack Rhea has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Golfer of the Week for all competition from Feb. 19-25. The selection is made by the league office.
 
Rhea shot a 1-under-par 215 to tie for fifth out of 75 competitors at the Seminole Intercollegiate in Tallahassee, Florida, over the weekend, helping the 25^th-ranked Bucs to a second-place finish in the 14-team field, which featured six other top-50 squads.
 
Rhea opened his tournament Saturday with a 2-under 70 to sit in a tie for second after the first round. The junior from Jonesborough, Tennessee, carded a 4-over 76 in the day’s second round to drop into a tie for 15th but rebounded with a 3-under 69 in Sunday’s final round to climb 10 spots into fifth. The 28^th-ranked Rhea, who turned in his fifth sub-70 round this season, topped five other top-100 golfers on the weekend, leading the field in birdies with 14.
 
The award is Rhea's third of the season.

ETSU is back in action at the General Hackler Championship at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on March 9-10.
