Montgomery, Ala.- Blue Mountain Christian University sophomore Alex Nordstrom has been named the SSAC Men's Golfer of the Week after a record-setting performance at the Carey Collegiate, where he finished third individually in a highly competitive field.
Nordstrom etched his name into the BMCU record books during the tournament's final round, firing a program-record 65, which was six strokes under par on the par-71 course. 
The round stands as the lowest score ever recorded by a Blue Mountain Christian men's golfer. His strong play across the tournament resulted in a seven-under-par finish overall, as he posted rounds of 70-71-65 to finish with a 206 total.
Competing against multiple nationally ranked teams, Nordstrom's performance showcased his ability to compete among some of the NAIA's top golfers while helping the Toppers continue to prove themselves against elite competition.
Head Coach Kevin Barefield praised Nordstrom's composure and preparation following his historic week. "Alex has been putting himself in position for a round like this all season," Barefield said. "To see him break the program record with a 65 in a field like this shows the kind of player he is becoming. I'm really proud of his focus and the way he competed from start to finish." 
Nordstrom's conference honor adds to what has already been a strong spring season for the Toppers as they continue their push through a challenging schedule.
