Lilja, Bjelke claim Big South honors again

Third sweep of weekly awards this fall

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – For the third time this season, Campbell has swept the weekly Big South Conference men's golf awards.  Henrik Lilja was named golfer of the week, while Henric Bjelke was chosen as freshman of the week.
 
Lilja (T7) produced his fourth-straight top-10 finish to lead Campbell to a sixth place finish in the Daniel Island Intercollegiate.  Lilja (73-70-72—215) made 15 birdies over the 54-hole event at the par-72, 7446-yard Ralston Creek Course designed by Rees Jones to lead the Camels in a field that included six other Big South members.  A senior from Gothenburg, Sweden, Lilja has played par, or better, golf in 10 of 12 rounds over four tournaments in the fall campaign and leads the Big South with a 70.33 stroke average and four top-10s.
 
CU (+8) finished just two shots behind No. 20 Virginia, the top-ranked school in the event, and 15 shots better than the next best Big South school (High Point (+23).  Charleston Southern (+28), Winthrop (+41), Gardner-Webb (+45), USC Upstate (+52) and Presbyterian (+71) also competed in the 20-team field. 
 
Seton Hall (282-282-294—858) won top honors at 6-under par in the 20-team field, four stroke better than South Carolina (289-282-291—862).  The College of Charleston (288-284-292—864) and Florida State (289-279-296—864) tied for third at even par, followed by Virginia (291-281-298—870) and Campbell (294-288-290—872).
 
Bjelke (T16) produced his fourth-straight top-25 finish this fall at the Daniel Island Intercollegiate.  He opened the event with his best collegiate round and fell one place shy of his best showing (68-74-76—218).  A native of Oslo, Norway, he has posted a 71.75 stroke average, best among Big South freshmen, through his first four events.
 
Lilja was also named Big South golfer of the week Sept. 16 and Oct. 21, while Bjelke was selected as freshman of the week on Sept. 16, Oct. 14 and 21.
 
Campbell returns to action Feb. 11-13 with the Advance Golf Partners Collegiate at Hammock Creek GC in Palm City, Fla.
