SoCon Names Men's Golfer of the Week

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Western Carolina junior Andrew Korytoski was named SoCon Men’s Golfer of the Week for tournaments played from September 24 to October 1, the league office announced Wednesday.

Korytoski (Cataula, GA / Harris County HS) finished third at the 2025 Nemacolin Intercollegiate in Farmington, PA, just three shots out of first place. The tournament was played on the Par-72, 7,526-yard Mystic Rock Golf Course. Korytoski’s effort helped the Catamounts to a second-place finish as a team, just ahead of Seton Hall and James Madison and behind host West Virginia. Korytoski recovered from an even par 72 in the opening round, firing back-to-back 68s to climb into contention. In the final round, Korytoski was red hot on the back nine, carding five birdies to finish on the podium. The finish was the highest of Korytoski’s career, and the three-round score (208) was the best of his career.

The Catamounts will take a brief break before heading to Burlington, NC, on October 13 for the Elon Invitational.

Also nominated: Gavin Tiernan (ETSU), Phillips Swift (Mercer), Jack Mikesell (Samford), Glover Amick (Wofford).
