Antonio Safa Named SEC Freshman of the Week

After leading the Missouri men’s golf team at the Quail Valley Collegiate Championship, Antonio Safa was honored by the SEC with the conference’s Freshman of the Week accolades.

In a field that featured six top-50 schools, Safa placed fifth overall with a 13-under par score of 203. His 203 total is tied for the lowest tournament score by a Tiger this season and the 11th-best mark in the program’s record book. Overall, Safa carded 16 birdies and his first collegiate eagle during the event, while improving his score in each round in Florida (69-68-66).

Safa’s fifth-place finish marked the second-straight top-five for the rookie in just his second and third collegiate events. He also placed fourth one week prior at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate.

The Tigers wrapped up its fall season at the Quail Valley Championship this past week and return to action in March.
