SPARTANBURG, S.C. – ETSU’s Shiso Go has been named the Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for all competition from May 19-25. The selection is made by the conference office. 
 
Go came from behind to claim the individual title at the NCAA Regional in Cle Elum, Washington, on May 19. He captured his third collegiate victory at 8-under-par (205). The win for Go marked his third consecutive season with an individual title, while he becomes the first Buccaneer since Rhys Enoch in 2010 to win individual medalist honors at an NCAA Regional. 
 
Go began his final round with a birdie on the opening par-4, setting the tone early for the Bucs. Just five holes later, the Japan native climbed further up the leaderboard with a birdie at the par-4 sixth hole. Go made the turn at 2-under-par; However, he gave the strokes back to the course with consecutive bogeys to open the back nine. With the Bucs sliding closer to the field, Go delivered a dominating performance down the stretch, finishing 4-under-par in his final six holes to soar up the leaderboard. He used three consecutive birdies to provide the Bucs with a bigger cushion in the team standings, positioning himself to make a run at the individual title. Needing a birdie on the last hole to jump into a tie for first, he carded a birdie-3 on the par-4 18th hole to enter the clubhouse as the leader at 8-under-par for the event. Go’s final-round 67 (-4) tied a season best for the veteran competitor.
 
The senior from Kanagawa, Japan, holds a 3.89 grade point average and is majoring in finance.
 
ETSU will compete in the 2021 NCAA Championship at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. The championship will begin on Friday, May 28, and will conclude with the match play finals on Wednesday, June 2.
