Montreat College golfer Sean McKaig has been awarded the Appalachian Athletic Conference's Men's Golfer of the Week award for the week of March 29, 2010 after tying for low score among all AAC participants in the Montreat College Spring Invitational Golf Tournament on March 15-16. 

Montreat hosted eight other schools at the Glen Cannon Country Club in Brevard, NC, including four rivals from AAC colleges.  Though McKaig did not win the overall competition, he shot a 75-76-151 to finish tied with Dan Merriman and Zach Lindsey, both of Reinhardt College, in the race to be low scorer among the AAC golfers participating. 

McKaig was given the AAC award after a committee including the AAC Men's Golf Chairman voted for him to collect the honor.  Montreat Head Golf Coach David Pennell felt that McKaig deserved the distinction, saying, "Sean had a great tournament.  He is a dedicated worker, both in the classroom and on the golf course."

His tie for fifth place also earned the junior from Columbus, N.C. a place on the All-Tournament team along with USC-Lancaster's Trevor Banks, three golfers from Limestone College, and the duo from Reinhardt.

Limestone captured the team honors and Banks won the individual medalist title with rounds of 69-67-136 on a par 72 layout; his sizzling play left him eight shots clear of the runner-up from Limestone.
