ICCAC Athlete of the Week-Will Steege

Will Steege and the Hawkeye RedTails have already played in two tournaments in the first 10 days of the NJCAA season. In the team's first tournament, Steege shot a 6-over in 36 holes at the Highland 36 at Park Hills in Freeport, Ill. He shot 1-under in round 1 before slipping to a round 2 +7. Then, Steege rallied at the Duane Chanay Classic at Oakwood Country Club in Coal Valley, Ill. He pulled off a five-shot victory after two brilliant rounds of golf in a field of 75 players. In the opening round, he shot a +1, then finished it off with a tournament-low -4 in round 2. After only one birdie in his first 18 holes, he scored seven in his second 18. Steege won the event by five strokes -- and helped Hawkeye to a second place finish (of 12) as a team in the process.
