MEN'S GOLFER OF THE WEEK
Alan Van Ash | Lynchburg | Fy.
Van Asch, a first-year from Raleigh, N.C., picks up his first career ODAC weekly award after a top-10 showing in a 24-team national field at the Golfweek Division III Invitational hosted by the Raven Golf Club in Sandestin, Fla. Van Asch tied for ninth overall at 1-over par 214 following three rounds on the par-71 track set to 6,651 yards. He opened and closed the event with rounds of 3-over 74. In between, he carded a 5-under 66 to tie for the second-lowest round of the tournament with two other players. He is the third golfer in Lynchburg history to post a round of 66 with only two rounds of 65 better in the Hornets' record book. In tying for ninth out 119 players, Van Ash, who is fifth in the ODAC with a 72.8 per-round average, helped Lynchburg to 12th in a 24-team table at 33-over 885 (308-280-297).
