C-USA Men’s Golfer of the Week – R.J. Keur, UAB, Sr., North Charleston, S.C.
Keur ended his fall slate with a remarkable showing at a cold, windy Steelwood Collegiate Invitational. The senior captured the title by two strokes among a field of 66 competitors, which included the nation’s No. 1 golfer in Davis Riley of No. 1 Alabama. Keur and UAB also competed against two other top-50 student-athletes representing the Crimson Tide and No. 8 Kentucky. The senior carded a 6-under 210 (71-72-67), and registered a 30 with six birdies on the first nine holes of his final round. The 67 marked a tournament-low and guided the way for his fourth at or under par in five fall events. UAB finished sixth, and Keur earned the program’s first individual title since the 2016 C-USA Championship.
