MEN'S GOLFER OF THE WEEK
Jorge Campillo, Indiana
FR, Caceres, Spain/La Asuncion

Campillo finished second and led the Hoosiers to a second-place showing at the Club de Golf Santa Anita/North Texas Classic. The freshman closed the tournament with a sterling 4-under-par 68, matching his best round of the season, after opening with a 74 and a 69 to finish at 5-under 211.  Campillo is the first Hoosier freshman to register a top-five finish since Santiago Quirarte placed fourth at the 2005 Pioneer Classic.  The Caceres, Spain native also grabbed the best finish for a freshman since current PGA Tour member Jeff Overton (2002-05) tied for second at the 2002 FirstEnergy Intercollegiate. Campillo appeared to have medalist honors in hand only to be thwarted by Houston's Pablo Acuan, who birdied five of his final six holes to not only defeat Campillo by one stroke but to lift the Cougars to the team championship. Campillo leads the Hoosiers with a 72.44 scoring average and has played in all six of the team's events this season. 

LAST IND GOW:  Jeff Overton (5/3/05)
