ARLINGTON, Texas – Utah Tech’s David Liechty has been named the University Credit Union Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Men’s Golfer of the Week for the competition week ending on Wednesday, Apr. 1.  
 
Liechty, a freshman, became the first Utah Tech men’s golfer to win medalist honors twice in a single season during the program’s DI era after winning the individual title in record fashion at the Seattle U Redhawk Invitational at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Park, Washington. Liechty won the tournament with a score of 16-under par, carding rounds of 70-64-66 to finish with a three-round total of 200 to tie Utah Tech’s 54-hole scoring record. After opening the first round with a 2-under 70 on his Monday morning loop, Liechty rolled seven birdies and an eagle on his way to a career collegiate low 8-under 64 and a six-shot lead after 36 holes. Liechty then went out and fired a 6-under 66 with another eagle and five more birdies on Tuesday’s final round.
