SEC Names Sam Bennett Golfer of the Week

This was probably the most predictable SEC Golfer of the Week honor in years. Sam Bennett had a historic run at the Masters Tournament earning the respect of many seasoned golfers and was the talk of the golf world on social media for days.

The three-time All-American was the only amateur to make the cut after back-to-back opening rounds of 68. He would finish the tournament in 16th place with a 2-under 286 becoming the first amateur to finish in the top 20 since 2005.

Bennett’s Masters Performance as an amateur was one for the ages and joined the ranks of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as notable Low Amateurs at the event. He gave golf fans around the country something the Aggies already knew; Sam Bennett is a name to keep an eye on for many years to come.
