COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Manuel Merizalde was named Mountain West Conference Men's Golfer of the Month after two outstanding September performances.

Individually, he placed second after shooting an eight-under 208 (72-69-67) over three rounds, including two sub-70 rounds (69-67) to conclude the tournament.

He captured the crown by three strokes after posting a nine-under 209 (72-71-66) over 54-holes, including a career-low 66 in the final round.
