Watts captures MIAA weekly honor

Missouri Southern State University's Andrew Watts, a junior from Carthage, Mo., was named MIAA Men's Golf Athlete of the Week on Tuesday (April 20) after leading the Lions to their fourth tournament title of the 2003-04 season last week.

Watts, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound junior, helped Southern to the tournament crown at the Central Regional Invitational at Ironhorse Golf Club in Leawood, Kan. on April 12-13.

He tied for third overall with a seven-over 151 for 36 holes, as Southern captured the team title by carding a four-man total of 613.

Watts, who led Southern with a 75.5 stroke average after the Central Region event, is a graduate of Carthage High School.
