Freshman Jack Persons swept the Atlantic 10 men’s golf weekly awards, nabbing both Golfer of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors.

Both accolades are the first of Persons’ collegiate career. He set a new GW golf record at the Old Dominion/Outerbanks Collegiate tournament, firing a 54-hole total of 9-under par score of 207 to finish fourth of 90 golfers.

Persons shot under par over all three days of competition, appearing in just his third collegiate tournament. Persons surpassed 2006 alumnus Brian Carroll’s previous 36- and 54-hole marks of 139 and 210, both set in 2005, with a two-round total of 138 and Tuesday’s three-round total of 207.

As a team, the Colonials finished fifth of 18 teams, shooting a three-round total of 11-over 875 and finishing ahead of Atlantic 10 rivals Richmond and Saint Joseph’s.

GW next heads to the three-day Kiawah Island Intercollegiate at the Turtle Point Golf Club in Kiawah Island, S.C., starting Oct. 30.
