MOUNT VERNON, Ga. — Brinson Burdette has been named the Southern States Athletic Conference Men's Golfer of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

The honor marks the first weekly award of Burdette's career after a strong showing at the Bruins Golf Classic.

The senior from McDonough, Ga., finished tied for fourth individually in the tournament after carding a four-over 148 across two rounds. Burdette displayed consistency throughout the event, shooting matching rounds of 74 to secure his top-five finish.

Burdette's performance also helped lead the Barons to a runner-up team finish in the nine-team field.

The weekly recognition adds to a strong start to the season for Burdette and the Brewton-Parker men's golf program.
