Coyotes Burke named top golfer

Cal State San Bernardino senior Micah Burke has been selected as the California Collegiate Athletic Association golfer of the week for his performance in leading the Coyotes to a fourth-place finish in the Bill Cullum Invitational Golf Tournament Oct. 27-28, hosted by Cal State Northridge.

Burke, a Los Angeles resident, shot six-under-par 210 for 54 holes to finish fifth among the individual golfers in a tournament where nine of the 11 teams were NCAA Division I. Only CSUSB and Cal State San Marcos were not D-1 teams.

Burke shot rounds of 70-68-72 over the 6,761-yard, par-72 Wood Ranch Golf Club in Simi Valley. He had 15 birdies in the tournament, third best in the field and played the par-5s in seven under par and the par-3s in even par.

Teammate Gene Webster Jr. also broke par for the tournament with a one-under total of 215 as CSUSB finished 19 shots behind tournament champion Cal State Northridge.

Earlier this fall, Burke helped the Coyotes win the Grand Canyon Fall Invitational by shooting three-under-par 213 to finish sixth.
