Overton finished second individually and helped his team to a third-place finish at the Pinehurst Invitational on March 28-29. The All-American closed with an even-par 72 and concluded the tournament with a 5-under-par 211 (69-70-72), one shot behind medalist winner Colt Knost of SMU (71-70-69). Overton earned his seventh career runner-up finish and his third this season. In addition, the Evansville, Ind., native now has 21 career top fives and 26 career top 10s, including six top-fives in eight events this season. On the season, Overton leads the team with a 70.27 scoring average in 22 rounds.

It's the first honor for Overton this year, but is the second Hoosier in three weeks to capture Golfer of the Week honors. Indiana's Santiago Quirarte won the award on March 17. Overton has now earned eight Golfer of the Week awards since his freshman year. The Hoosier senior has earned the weekly award at least once during each year he has been on the Bloomington campus.
