Missouri Golfer Earns SEC Freshman of the Week Honors: The Buzz, Thursday, September 19, 2024

Following his first ever collegiate tournament, freshman Trent Mierl took home the SEC Freshman of the week honors.

The Austin, Texas native placed third overall at the Golfweek "Put Me In Coach" Invitational. In the three-round tournament, Mierl recorded a even-par 210. During the final day, he recorded the best score of all the golfers with a 67.

Mierl is the first Mizzou freshman to receive the accolade since Alfons Bondesson did so during the 2022-23 campaign. Bondesson is no longer with the Tigers and transferred to LSU for the 2024-25 year.

First collegiate tournament, first conference honor

Congrats to Trent Mierl on collecting SEC Freshman of the Week honors!!
