Elon’s Mactas Named CAA Men’s Golfer of the Week

RICHMOND, Va. – Elon University men’s golf senior Jared Mactas has been selected as the Colonial Athletic Association Men’s Golfer of the Week today, March 1, as announced by the league office.

Mactas led the way for the Phoenix at the Loyola Intercollegiate this week, shooting a 7-under 209, which ties his career-best 54-hole total and sets a new career-best score to par. He finished seventh individually to help Elon finish third out of 16 teams at the Loyola Intercollegiate.

Mactas opened the first two rounds shooting 70 (-2) before closing out the tournament with a final round of 69 (-3). The senior made seven birdies in the final round to finish with a 69 on his scorecard. The Woodcliff Lake, N.J. earned his sixth-career top-10 finish after placing seventh at the tournament. The Phoenix has now earned a top-three finish as a team in three consecutive tournaments dating back to the fall season.

The weekly honor is the second of Mactas’ career. He was also named the CAA Golfer of the Week last season on Nov. 4, 2015.

The Phoenix heads to Pinehurst Resort, March 10-12, to compete in the Pinehurst Intercollegiate. Elon will compete on Pinehurst’s eighth course.
