Freshman Cody Hixon capped off his impressive first semester of collegiate golf by taking home the Great American Conference Male Golfer of the Week honor.
Hixon earned the award by firing rounds of 72 and 74 to finish in third place at the Northwestern Oklahoma State University Invite at Meadlowlake Golf Course in Enid during Oct. 23-24. Hixon helped lead the Rangers to a two-stroke comeback to take the team title for their first win in the NCAA Division II era.
Hixon had a stellar first semester campaign of golf including matching the school individual low round of 68 as well taking home the Blue Sky Media Northwestern September Athlete of the Month honor. Hixon also helped the team post their lowest team score as a Division II program, a 288 during the final round of competition in the Great American Conference Preview at Lake Hefner Golf Course in Oklahoma City.
Hixon is originally from Pawnee and is currently majoring in Business Management.
Hixon and the Rangers will begin their spring semester in early March and will finish the spring semester at the Great American Conference Championships at Hot Springs Country Club, Arkansas in late April.
