COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. –Matthew Manganello claimed his second straight Mountain West Golfer of the Week honor this spring, the conference office announced Thursday afternoon. The Bulldog junior has won the last three "of the" honors after earning the final Golfer of the Month last fall.
Manganello won his second tournament of the season last week, carding an 8-under par 208 at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate. He is the first Bulldog to win multiple tournaments in the same season since Nick Watney in 2002.
Tied heading into the final round, and leading by two through nine, the junior went 2-under on the back nine to close out the win.
Manganello is the first Bulldog to win multiple tournaments in a career since Grant Doverspike (2007, 2008).
The Las Vegas, Nev. native has finished in the Top 6 in his last four tournaments. He has shot below par in nine consecutive rounds, and in 16 of the 18 rounds he has played in this season.
