Georgia's Joey Garber has been named the National Player of the Week by Golfweek following his performance in The Invitational at The Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, S.C.
Garber, a senior from Petoksey, Mich., garnered medalist honors for the first time in his career. He finished at 9-under 207, including a tournament-record and career-best 6-under 66 in the second round. (The tournament mark was eclipsed in the third round by teammate Lee McCoy's 7-under 65.)
The victory capped what was a strong fall for Garber. He came in second in the Dick's Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup, fourth in the Carpet Capital Collegiate and 19th in the Brickyard Collegiate Championship. Garber finished the fall with a scoring average of 69.75.
• The PGA TOUR will be stopping on St. Simons Island this week as the McGladrey Classic will be held on the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club -- the site of the 2014 SEC Championship.
Scheduled to participate Thursday through Sunday are Erik Compton, Harris English, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Chris Kirk, Kevin Kisner, Hudson Swafford and Brendon Todd. Justin Bolli and Ryuji Imada are listed among the alternates.
