Wolf Named BIG EAST Golfer of the Week: Coming off the best finish of his collegiate career, DePaul sophomore Campbell Wolf was named the BIG EAST Golfer of the Week on Sept. 26 by the league office. Wolf finished in a tie for third at the NKU Fall Classic with the lowest tournament score of his career.
Wolf posted rounds of 72 (+1), 67 (-4) and 73 (+2) to finish at 212 (-1). The 67 in the second round matched the best round of his collegiate career while the third place finish marked his second top 25 showing in two events this season.
The weekly honor is the first for Wolf and the first by a DePaul golfer since Charlie Spencer-White last season in March 2019.
Gatmaytan Goes Low: In the third round of the Crusader Collegiate, junior Nik Gatmaytan turned in the best round of his career with a sizzling six-under score of 66 to finish in a tie for sixth place. His round was the lowest by a DePaul golfer since the 2004-05 season.
Gatmaytan's circuit was bogey-free at Sand Creek CC with six birdies. After starting the day in a tie for 21st place, he moved up the leaderboard into a tie for sixth for the best finish of his collegiate career. Gatmaytan finished the tournament with a score of 213 (-3).
