RENO, Nev. – Nevada men's golf sophomore Joey Vrzich has been named the Wolf Pack Student-Athlete of the Week after winning the Badger Invite last week.

Vrzich secured the first individual win of his collegiate career last Tuesday, winning the Badger Invite. He tied the tournament course record with a final round of 65, which also set a career low for the southern California native. He began the day one shot back of the 36-hole leader and traded the lead back and forth until he reached the back nine. Vrzich played the final nine holes at 6-under par, which included a sequence of birdie, birdie, par, eagle, birdie, birdie on holes 10-15.

With all three of his rounds for the week under par, he finished the event at 13-under par, three shots better than runner-up Lachlan Barker of Iowa State. Vrzich's win is the second individual win for the Wolf Pack in the last two seasons.  With his win, he helped the Wolf Pack to a tie for third place in the 12-team field to open the season.

Nevada returns to the course Sept. 25-26 for the Husky Invitational at Aldarra Golf Course in Sammamish, Wash.
