PARK RIDGE, Ill. - Days after capturing the first individual medal of his collegiate career, Purdue junior William Sjaichudin was named Big Ten Co-Golfer of the Week on Wednesday in an announcement by the league office.
The Jakarta, Indonesia, native shot 65-69-72=206 (-10) over the weekend to win the Furman Intercollegiate by a stroke and lead the Boilermakers to a tie for seventh at the 22-team event.
The award, which he shared with Illinois' Chris DeForest, is the first of Sjaichudin's career.
Sjaichudin's total of 206 tied for the second-lowest 54-hole score in program history, while his career-best 65 (-7) in the opening round tied for the fourth-best single-round effort on the school chart.
The three-under 69 that Sjaichudin posted in the third round at the Furman Intercollegiate ranked as the third-best round of his Purdue career. In addition to being his first collegiate victory, the performance was also just Sjaichudin's second top-five finish in a collegiate event.
Sjaichudin has played in 11 rounds this season, posting a 74.18 scoring average. He has carded four rounds at par or better, including each of the three last weekend.
Purdue will be in action again on Monday and Tuesday at the Butler Spring Invitational in Avon, Ind.
