Patriot Golfer Bennett Smith has been selected the Heartland Conference Player of the Week for the week of March 7-March 13. Smith, a senior from Orlando, Florida, led the Patriots this past week at the Pioneer Shootout that concluded Tuesday at Hiddenbrooke Golf Course in Vallejo, California.
Smith finished with a seven-over-par 223, tying him for a fourth place finish in individual competition. His play led the Patriots to a fourth overall team finish with a 43-over-par total 907. The Patriots were only three strokes behind the second place finisher, CSU-Stanislaus, who finished 40-over-par.
Smith and the Patriots will return to action on March 22 as they travel to Wichita Falls for a tournament hosted by Midwestern State University.
