Mouw Named WCC Men's Golfer Of The Month

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Besting a trio of top 6 golfers and helping Pepperdine win a tournament title in the process, William Mouw was named the WCC Men's Golfer of the Month for the month of February.

#WCCSPORTS MEN'S GOLFER OF THE MONTH – WILLIAM MOUW, SR. – PEPPERDINE
In three tournaments last month, Mouw averaged 70.33 strokes per round and tabbed four below par rounds out of his nine rounds played.  He moved up to No. 15 in the Golfstat player rankings, which leads the West Coast Conference.
 
Mouw finished in the top 10 twice and top 20 in all three tournaments, including a second place finish at the highly competitive The Prestige, helping the Pepperdine men’s golf team to the tournament title for the first time in program history. He shot one shy of his career-best round with an impressive 65 in the first round of the tournament and finished 5-under overall. He also tied for fifth at the equally challenging Southern Highlands Collegiate, posting another round of 65 in the final round, to finish 8-under overall. Along with a title at The Prestige, Mouw helped the Waves to a second-place finish at the Southwestern Invitational and a third-place finish at the Southern Highlands Collegiate.

Mouw's performances came against strong competition as well, as there were eight top 35 teams at the Southwestern, four top 10 teams at Southern Highlands, and eight top 35 teams at The Prestige. At The Prestige, Mouw beat out the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 6 players in the nation, falling to only No. 4 Ludvig Aberg from Texas Tech.
