Riegger Named Co-Big Ten Golfer of the Week

ROSEMONT, IL -- Junior Emil Riegger of the Maryland men's golf team was named Co-Big Ten Golfer of the Week Thursday for the second time this spring. Riegger won the individual title at the Bell Bank "Pay It Forward" Collegiate event Tuesday at the Wigwam Resort & Golf Club in Litchfield Park, Ariz.

This is Riegger's second individual title this year after he won the Wyoming Desert Collegiate last month. The last Terp to win two individual titles in a season was Tom Harris in 2016. Riegger went -10 overall with a score of 206 (66-69-71). He made 13 birdies with an eagle in the 54-hole event. His score of 206 tied his career-best 54-hole score.

Riegger shares this week's honor with Max Herendeen of Illinois. Riegger was named Big Ten Golfer of the Week on Feb. 26 after winning the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate event. He earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors and was named to the All-Big Ten Championships Team last year.

Next, Riegger and the Terps will compete at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial in Charlottesville, Va. April 13-14.
