Matteo Cristoni Garners OVC Golfer of the Month Honors

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Little Rock sophomore Matteo Cristoni has been named the Ohio Valley Conference Co-Golfer of the Month for September, announced by the league office.
 
Cristoni competed in a pair of events for the Trojans, posting a 69.50 scoring average with a pair of top-four individual finishes. Cristoni opened his Little Rock career at the Olympic Club Intercollegiate, tying for third with a 4-under 209. He followed that up tying for third at the Windon Memorial Classic, shooting a 2-under 208.


 
The Modena, Italy native shot par-or-better in four of his six rounds in the month of September, including a 6-under 65 in round two in San Francisco and a 3-under 67 in round two in Chicago. He helped guide Little Rock to the team championship at the Olympic Club Intercollegiate and a runner-up finish at the Windon Memorial, earning OVC Co-Male Golfer of the Week on September 14.
 
The sophomore transfer earns the first OVC Golfer of the Month award in program history, sharing the title with Tennessee Tech's Jackson Skeen, who boasted nearly identical accolades with a 69.2 scoring average and third and fifth-place individual finishes.
 
Cristoni and the rest of the Trojans are currently competing at the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas, heading into the final round atop the leaderboard by one stroke on host SMU. Cristoni is currently third among the 90-player field at 8-under 136, one off the individual lead.
