ATLANTA - For the fifth time in the 2025-26 season, Piedmont freshman Braden Kiley has been selected as the Collegiate Conference of the South Men's Golf Rookie of the Week, announced Wednesday afternoon.


 


The Bedford, New Hampshire native put together a remarkably consistent tournament at the Capital City Classic in Alabama this past week. Kiley fired an opening round of 1-over 73 before carding back-to-back even par rounds of 72.



 



His solid second and third rounds helped the Lions move into the top five on the team leaderboard against a loaded field of nationally ranked opponents.

Individually, Kiley moved into the top 10, finishing in a tie for eighth.

Kiley now has six rounds at par or better this spring.
