Simon Fraser University's John Mlikotic was named the Great Northwest conference golfer of the week after a top-10 finish at the Cal State San Marcos Invitational.
Mlikotic carded opening rounds of 72 and 73 before finishing with a 227 total and a tie for 10th place at the invitational collegiate event.
"I think my performance in San Diego can be attributed to my tournament preparation. I had been putting in time practising before the tournament and mentally I was ready to go," said Mlikotic in a prepared release.
