GEORGETOWN, TEXAS – Southwestern University Men's Golfer Sam McClure was named the Southern Athletic Association Golfer of the Week, announced by the league Wednesday afternoon.
 
McClure took home top honors in the Carla Spenkoch Invitational, finishing tied for first with a 213 (72, 72, 69) before winning a playoff on the 18^th hole to claim the top medalist honor.
 
The fourth-year Pirate led all golfers with a -4 on par scoring, averaging a 3.88 on par attempts. He finished the three-round event with 35 pars and 10 birdies.
 
This marks McClure's second career individual title and his third career Golfer of the Week award. During his sophomore season in February 2025, he won the TPC San Antonio Shootout and was named the SCAC Golfer of the Week. McClure took home SAA Golfer of the Week honors last fall after his performance at the Texas Tri-Match against Mary Hardin-Baylor and Trinity University.
 
McClure becomes the second Pirate to earn SAA Men's Golfer of the Week honors this season, joining Tyler Rosson, who received the award Sept. 16.
