CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After his performance in the Elon Phoenix Invitational earlier this week, sophomore men's golfer James Rhodes was named the Big South Golfer of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Friday afternoon.  

Rhodes is the 12th different player in the PC men's golf program's history to be named Big South Golfer of the Week. Rhodes is the second PC golfer to claim Big South Golfer of the Week honors this season, as Spence Hagood captured the award on September 24.

Last season, Rhodes played a major role in helping the Blue Hose win the Big South Championship for the first time in school history.



PERFORMANCE THIS WEEK
The Columbia, South Carolina native recorded his highest career finish after finishing tied for 11th place while helping the Blue Hose finish in fourth place in a 17-team field at the Elon Phoenix Invitational, October 12-13. Rhodes began the tournament shooting a career-low round of 64 (-7), which is tied for the third-lowest round in Presbyterian's DI era.
