After cruising to the team and individual titles in Turlock, Chico State’s Josh McCollum has been named CCAA Golfer of the Week for March 27-April 2, his second weekly honor of the 2018-19 season.

McCollum, a senior from Upland, was dominant in the 91-man field of the Hanny Stanislaus Invitational at Turlock Golf and Country Club, finishing at 10-under par with a five-shot victory. McCollum fired consecutive rounds of 5-under 67 on the first day of the tournament slate, and earned the victory after an even-par 72 to best the trio of Will Barnett (Cal State East Bay), Michael Jura (Stanislaus State) and Aidan Goodfellow (Simon Fraser) by five shots.
 
All told, he rolled in 13 birdies - 11 of which came in Monday’s action - and played the Par 5s at a clip of 9-under, averaging a tournament-best 4.25 strokes on the longest links of the course.

McCollum’s efforts helped No. 6 ranked Chico State tie the Hanny Stanislaus team tournament scoring record at 19-under par as they won the team title by 19 strokes. The Wildcats have one more regular-season tournament on the docket as the squad is slated to compete at the Mustang Intercollegiate April 8-9 in Goodyear, Ariz.
