FOREST, Va. (BC Athletics) – Walker Gilespie of the Bridgewater College Men’s Golf team has been named the ODAC Golfer of the Week after his third-place finish in the Kinder-Williams Invitational earlier this week.

Gilespie opened the first collegiate event of his career with a 2-over 74 at the Lakeview Golf Club at sat tied for 19th after 18 holes. The freshman from Pearisburg, Va. turned it around on a rainy day two as he shot a 4-under 68 on Tuesday to climb to a tie for third place. His 68 was also the second lowest round of the tournament behind tournament champion Dax Anderson’s 67 on Monday.

This marks the second-straight week the Eagles have had a student-athlete claim player of the week honors as Sophia Martone eared the accolade last week.

Bridgewater is back in action at the Knights Invitational Oct. 7-8 at the Wintergreen Resort.
