Zillig lands first NSAA Golfer of the Week Award
Senior Alex Zillig (La Vista, Neb.) has been named the NSAA Men’s Golfer of the Week for the first week of the season.
BISMARCK, N.D. -- Bellevue University senior Alex Zillig (La Vista, Neb.) was recognized today by the North Star Athletic Association as the NSAA Men's Golfer of the Week.
Zillig opened the season with a fourth place individual finish at the U.C. Ferguson Classic at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Oklahoma City, Okla. The Golfer of the Week award is the seventh of Zillig's career; he received it three times as a freshman, twice as a sophomore, and once last season.
The senior carded a 7-under 135 in the weather-shortened event to help BU to a share of the team title. Zillig fired a 3-under 68 on Monday and backed it up with a 4-under second round on Tuesday as the Bruins picked up right where they left off at the end of the 2021-22 season.
BU is currently tied for third in the Mid-South Classic, hosted by Grand View at Sand Creek Station in Newton, Kan. The Bruins next compete at the Northwest Iowa Invitational on Monday-Tuesday, Sept. 19-20 at Willow Creek Golf Course in Le Mars, Iowa.
