After the Lake Forest men's golf team competed at Illinois/Wisconsin Battle on Monday, junior Jack Dwyer was named Forester Athlete of the Week.
Lake Forest was edged out 5-4 by Edgewood College during the first 18 holes and defeated Marian University 6.5-2.5 in the second. The four teams from Wisconsin combined to prevail in five of the eight match-ups overall to win the event.
Dwyer earned three-and-a-half of a possible four points on the day. He and fellow junior James Johnson halved their 9-hole best-ball match against the #1 team from Edgewood College and Dwyer outplayed the Eagles' #2 singles player over the next nine holes. The Foresters' top tandem was triumphant using an alternate shot format for the first half of the afternoon round and Dwyer added another victory in singles to close out the contest.
The Forester Athletes of the Week are voted for by the Athletic Department every Tuesday.
