Trevecca Nazarene University junior Stephen Williams has been named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Athlete of the Month for men’s golf. Williams, the first men’s golfer other than Cedarville’s Jacob Forsythe to earn the honor, earned the award for his play since the beginning of the spring season.
Williams, who played in three very different tournaments, highlighted his spring season so far with his 17th place finish at the home Trevecca Spring Invitational, which the Trojans led after round one, but finished 3rd overall out of 10 teams.
Williams posted a two-day total of 156 after shooting a 76 in the first round and an 80 in the second. At the Lee Spring Invitational at the beginning of March, the Trojans finished sixth as Williams fired a 77 in the 18-hole outing.
A week later, TNU participated in the three round Grove Page Classic (UT-Martin). Williams led the way with a 26th place finish out of 75 golfers with a three-day total of 231. His best round was day two in which he posted a 75, which was tied for 18th best score on day two.

Men’s and Women’s Golf name an Athlete of the Month, rather than Athlete of the Week due to the fact that the NCAA golf season covers both the fall and spring semesters. The randomness of a specific golf schedule also does not adapt itself well to a weekly award since there are weeks in which a team may not play and tournaments are not restricted to weekends only. Winners will be announced following the months of September, October, March, and April.
