Greene is Canada West athlete of the week

Eli Greene of the University of the Fraser Valley has been named the Canada West men's golf athlete of the week, in recognition of his victorious performance at the Calgary Invitational.

Greene, who joined the Cascades for the 2020-21 season but is still in his first year of eligibility, carded a 74 on Sunday and 71 on Monday at Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club, finishing at +1 for the tournament, one stroke better than Calgary's Ethan Banks.

The Nanaimo, B.C. product led four Cascades golfers in the top eight in the men's individual standings, propelling the squad to the team title. Their combined score of +12 was 14 strokes better than the runner-up host Calgary Dinos.

Greene is the second UFV men's golfer to earn CW athlete of the week honours, following in the footsteps of Jackson Jacob, who got the nod on Sept. 20.

Up next for Greene and the Cascades golf teams: The Canada West championships, hosted by UBC at Squamish Valley Golf Club, Oct. 4-5.
