Montgomery, Ala. — Blue Mountain Christian University sophomore Alex Nordstrom has been named the Southern States Athletic Conference Men’s Golfer of the Week, following a record-setting performance at the Carey Collegiate.
Nordstrom finished third individually in a competitive field. During the final round, he shot a program-record 65, six strokes under par on the par-71 course. The round is the lowest score ever recorded by a Blue Mountain Christian men’s golfer. His total score for the tournament was 206, with rounds of 70, 71, and 65, finishing seven under par overall.
Competing against several nationally ranked teams, Nordstrom’s strong play demonstrated his ability to compete among some of the top NAIA golfers. His performance helped the Toppers continue to showcase their competitiveness against elite programs.
Head Coach Kevin Barefield praised Nordstrom’s focus and composure. “Alex has been putting himself in position for a round like this all season,” Barefield said. “To see him break the program record with a 65 in a field like this shows the kind of player he is becoming. I’m really proud of his focus and the way he competed from start to finish.”
Nordstrom’s conference honor comes as the Toppers continue a challenging spring schedule. The team remains focused on its competitive goals moving forward.
