Testas selected as NAIA Men's Golfer of the Week

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The honors keep rolling in for the sensational sophomore Leo Testas who was selected as the NAIA National Men's Golfer of the Week for his performance at the Invite at Innisbrook. 

"I'm very grateful," Testas said. "It's just an award, so I'm just gonna keep training and focusing on my goals, but yeah, it's pretty cool to have this type of award."

Testas carded a nine-under-par finish at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook fueled by two eagles with one being a hole-in-one. 

The Castres, France native kept a simple and focused approach to victory. "I focused on myself, I'm hitting shot after shot, it went the good way. Hitting a hole-in-one in the first round, it helped me quite a lot."

For Leo, the approach remained on the immediate situation at hand and not the leaderboard but seized the moment. "I wasn't focusing on the score actually. I just watched the scoreboard after like the first six holes in the first round. I knew I had a chance after the first round when I was the leader by one shot, but I wasn't really thinking about it. I just saw this as an opportunity and it just went for it."

Testas became just the second Eagle to claim the weekly national award.
