BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Senior
Noah Clark of the Concord University men's golf team has been voted as the Mountain East Conference Golfer of the Week, the league office announced Thursday morning.
Clark, a native of Pearisburg, Virginia, fired a two-round total of 147 (74, 73) at the Golden Bear Classic at Glade Springs Resort in Daniels, West Virginia as he finished as the runner-up. Clark tied for the lead after the 36-hole tournament before losing on the second playoff hole to Indiana East's Jake Miller.
Clark carded five birdies in round including birdying the 18
th hole during Tuesday's second round to force the sudden-death playoff with Miller. Clark carded birdies on the par-5, second hole during both rounds of the tournament. Additionally, Clark surged during the closing holes of the final rounds as he went -2 on the final nine.
His strong two rounds helped the Mountain Lions to a second-place team finish as they only finished five strokes back of Davis & Elkins.
Clark is the first conference golfer of the week since fifth-year senior
Brett Laxton was named to the honor in September 2019.
As it was announced last week, Clark has qualified for the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional Championship at Ravenwood Golf Club in Victor, New York. The tournament will be held May 5-7.
