Men's Golf's Leibfried Earns UAA Honors

09/11/07

New York University sophomore Mike Leibfried earned University Athletic Association (UAA) Men’s Golf Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday, September 11.

Leibfried finished second individually out of a field of 71 golfers to help lead the Violets to a second-place finish at the Skidmore College/Tim Brown Invitational in Saratoga Springs, NY, on September 9-10. Leibfried, who shot a two-round total of 142 (-2), was one of only three golfers to finish under par for the tournament.

After shooting a par 72 in the first round, Leibfried shot a two-under 70 in the second round, which tied him for the 36-hole lead with Skidmore College’s Toby Spector.

However, Spector birdied the first playoff hole to capture the individual title.
