Sigg Chosen As The SEC Golfer Of The Week

Georgia's Greyson Sigg has been chosen as the Southeastern Conference Male Golfer of the Week, according to an announcement by the league office.

Sigg, a senior from Augusta, claimed medalist honors at the Linger Longer Invitational at Great Waters Golf Course on March 21. Sigg had a tournament total of 16-under 200 — setting his personal best and matching the second-best figure in school history — as he won by five shots over Baylor’s Matthew Perrine. Sigg fired a personal-best-tying 7-under 65 in the second round.

The win is the fourth of Sigg’s career and the first this season. He has five top-10s and six top-20s in eight stroke-play events this year.

Sigg and his Georgia teammates will return to action in the 39th annual 3M Augusta Invitational Saturday and Sunday at Forest Hills Golf Club. The Bulldogs will use a lineup of Sigg, sophomore Tye Waller, and freshmen Will Chandler, Trevor Phillips and Spencer Ralston.

• Harris English, Brian Harman, Hudson Swafford and Russell Henley are playing this week in the Shell Houston Open.
