MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho men's golfer Jose Suryadinata has been awarded the Big Sky Conference Men's Golfer of the Week for the first time this season as announced Wednesday morning by the conference office.
 
In just his first collegiate tournament, the freshman took home 3^rd place in the Nick Watney Invitational, leading the Vandals to a 6^th place finish in the tournament.
 
"He's deserving and we are excited, and we are excited he's been recognized for his great play this week," said head coach David Nuhn. "His first and more accolades to come, I have no doubt."
