Junior Roman Robledo was honored as the Golfweek National Player of the Week after earning three consecutive individual titles.

It was Robledo’s first national weekly honor and his second weekly award this season. He was honored as the American Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week on Feb. 26.

Robledo posted a score of seven-under-par 209 to win the Border Olympics individual title and led the Cougars to their third straight team championship last weekend. He posted three consecutive sub-par rounds for his fourth title in 2013-14 and the fifth title of his career.

“Roman’s play has been phenomenal. He seems to post an impressive score in every round at this point,” Dismuke. “He is posting a lot of birdies and developing into a world-class player.”
