ATLANTA - Piedmont men's golf junior
Doug Gugel has been named Collegiate Conference of the South Men's Golfer of the Week, the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
The Winter Springs, Florida native enjoyed his most consistent play of the fall season, recording a solo fifth place finish out of over 100 golfers at the West Pines Collegiate.
Â
Gugel fired 2-of-3 rounds at par-or-better, finishing at even par for the event.
He began his tournament with a 1-over 72 on Monday morning before going back out in the afternoon and bettering his score by two shots, with a 1-under 70 to move into contention.
Â
Then, he backed it up on Tuesday in the final round, with a rock solid even par showing to help propel the Lions to a solo third place finish.
The fifth place finish for Gugel marked his third career top five and first in a full-field event.Â
His other two top fives have occurred at the 2024 and 2025 CCS Conference Championship.
