APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University golf standout Nigel Schuster earned Midwest Conference Player of the Week after carding the low round of his career.
A junior from Dusseldorf, Germany, Schuster fired a 1-over par 73 to take second place at the Forester Spring Invitational at Aldeen Golf Club in Rockford, Ill., on April 17.
Schuster recorded three birdies on the front nine and went out in 2-under 34. He shot 39 on back nine to finish one shot behind Jordan Velez of Benedictine University, who won the title with a 72.
It was the lowest round of Schuster’s career by one stroke. He carded a 74 at Washington County Golf Course back in the fall of 2015 at the Wisconsin Lutheran College Invitational.
This is the first Player of the Week award for Schuster, and the first time Lawrence has won the award since Rudi Pino did it in April 2013.
Lawrence returns to action on Thursday when it heads to the Oak Brook Golf Club to play in the Elmhurst College Invitational.
