Fraser Valley (Dan Kinvig) – Jackson Jacob of the University of the Fraser Valley has been named the Canada West men’s golf athlete of the week, in recognition of his outstanding performance at the Alberta Invitational last week.
At the season-opening event at Northern Bear Golf Course in Sherwood Park, Alta., Jacob fired rounds of 69 and 72 to finish at three under par, good for a four-stroke win in the men’s individual.
The sophomore from Langley, B.C. also led the Cascades men’s team to the tournament title – their two-day combined score of +19 was good for first place, ahead of the Manitoba Bisons (+21) and UBC Okanagan Heat (+22).
The women’s golf athlete of the week was Kendra Jones-Munk of UBC Okanagan.
Jacob and the Cascades are currently competing at their home tournament, the Cascades Invitational at Chilliwack Golf Club.
