AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn men's golf sophomore Evan Vo was named SEC Co-Golfer of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
Vo was rewarded for his performance in both the Maui Jim Intercollegiate and the SEC Fall Preview to start the year. The honor is the first of his career, however, Vo was named SEC Freshman of the Week during the 2021-22 season.
At the Maui Jim Intercollegiate, Vo shot a 13-under 197 by way of a 65-67-65 scorecard. He finished tied for third overall, leading the Auburn lineup in breaking the team records for 18, 36, and 54-hole scores as well as capturing the event's team championship. Vo also recorded a new personal low by two shots.
This week at the SEC Fall Preview, Vo once again carried the torch for the Tigers, shooting a 9-under 201 (68-69-64) to claim yet another top-10 finish to start the fall. In match play, the Austin, Texas product defeated Texas A&M's Sam Bennett 7&6. Bennet is the reigning U.S. Amateur Champion and the 2021 SEC Golfer of the Year.
As the SEC begins player of the week awards for the first time its history during the fall season, three golfers were awarded for their efforts thus far. Joining Vo were Matthew Riedel and William Moll of Vanderbilt. Cameron Tankersley was named SEC Freshman of the Week.
Vo and the Tigers return to action next week, Oct. 2-3 at the Marquette Invitational in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
