SPARTANBURG, S.C. – ETSU’s Archie Davies has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Golfer of the Week for all competition April 7-13. The selection is made by the league office and is the final one of the season.
 
Davies tied for seventh at the Stitch Intercollegiate, hosted by NC State at MacGregor Downs in Cary, North Carolina, on Friday and Saturday. The redshirt freshman from Carlisle, England, shot an 11-under-par 205 for the event, turning in three straight rounds in the 60s. Davies opened his tournament with matching 4-under 68s in the first two rounds, matching his season-low rounds relative to par. He then shot 3-under 69 in his final round to match his career-best 54-hole score and log his third top-10 finish of the season and his second straight.
 
ETSU finished third as a team in the 12-team, 69-golfer field, which featured three top-50 teams and four top-100 players. Davies helped the Bucs post a 54-hole program-record 38-under-par 826, including Saturday’s 18-under 270, which tied for the third-lowest round and second-lowest round relative to par in program history.
 
ETSU and the league’s other seven programs are all back in action at the Southern Conference Men’s Golf Championship on April 19-20 at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Georgia. UNCG is the two-time defending champion of the tournament, which was not contested in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Also nominated: Gabe Hunter (Chattanooga), Pierre Viallaneix (Western Carolina) and Ryan Marter (Wofford).
