Robledo named American Golfer of the Week

Roman Robledo was honored Wednesday as the American Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week after winning his second title of the 2013-14 campaign.

The junior fired three consecutive rounds in the 60s — including a final-round 66 — to win the individual title at the Cougars’ Bayou City Collegiate Championship last weekend at the Golf Club of Houston. He became only the 10th player in school history to shoot 66 or better in the third round or later of a tournament.

After bogeying two of his first four holes to start the tournament, Robledo played the final 68 holes without a similar blemish on his scorecard. It was Robledo’s third tournament title in his last 17 tournaments.
