RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – The Great American Conference announced today their golfer of the week awards. Winning the award this week for the second of his career is Southern Arkansas' very own Luke Cote.
 
The senior from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada wins the award after notching his first collegiate individual title this past week at The Dewsweeper Invitational.
 
Cote came out of the gates firing early and often, carding a -4 under par 68 in his first round of play that saw six birdies and an eagle to go along with a pair of bogeys and a double. The senior began his second round of play Monday, picking up right where he left off, carding a -7 under par 65 including two eagles and four birdies to go along with one bogey as he quickly shot up the leaderboard to end his first two rounds of play as the clubhouse leader at -11 under par.
 
Luke began day two of the tournament with a double bogey but recovered quickly, pulling back to even par for the round with back-to-back birdies. From there, Cote managed the course well playing par golf while carding one more birdie and a bogey to end his third and final round at even par while still being in first place at -11 under par. Cote's dominance proved as the next highest finisher was -6 under par for the tournament.
 
Cote's round of -7 65 is currently tied for the best round in program history while he also tied for the fourth lowest 54-hole score in program history at -11 under (205). Cote played all par 3s 3-under par and par 5s a field-best 12-under.
