ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Senior Jake Weissenburger of Drake men's golf has been tabbed as the Missouri Valley Conference Men's Golfer of the Week, the league announced.

Weissenburger and the Drake men's golf team took home two trophies at the Kemper Lakes Intercollegiate. Weissenburger won his first career medalist honor finishing the tournament at -5 with a total score of 211 (65-72-74). The Bulldogs picked up their first team title since they shared honors at the 2021 Zach Johnson Invitational, and it was their first solo team title since the 2020 Zach Johnson Invitational. The Bulldogs (288-296-302=886, +22) bested runner-up South Dakota by eight strokes.

Weissenburger started off his tournament with a bang and fired a 7-under, 65 in his opening round. That tied his career-low 18-hole score and was the lowest round of all 78 players in the field. Weissenburger was the only player in the field to finish under par and ranked second on Par 4's (E), second on Par 5's (-5), fourth on Par 3's (E) and tallied the most birdies in the field with 14. Weissenburger is the first Bulldog to win tournament medalist honors since Lucas Scherf at the Loyola (Md.) Intercollegiate in 2023.

Drake will have the next week off before it returns to action for its home tournament, the Zach Johnson Invitational. The Bulldogs will tee it up from Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines with play beginning on Oct. 19 and concluding the following day on Oct. 20.
