BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Following an impressive performance against one of the nation's top fields, Little Rock sophomore
Ed Featherstone has been named Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Week.

Austin Eoff said. "He's put together a really solid season, and we're excited to see what the next stretch brings for him."
Featherstone credited his preparation and consistency throughout the week.
"I felt really comfortable with my game and stayed patient throughout the tournament," Featherstone said. "It's always great to compete against that level of field, and I'm looking forward to building on this moving forward."
