LAS VEGAS - UNLV freshman Seung-Su Han and San Diego State senior Andrew Scott have been named Co-Mountain West Conference Golfers of the Month for November, the conference announced Tuesday.

Han and Scott both finished in a four-way tie for first place with a 2-under 214 at the University of Hawaii Fall Intercollegiate in Kaneohe, Hawaii, Nov. 7-9. However, both players lost in a four-hole playoff to New Mexico State's Robert Goff, who claimed medalist honors.

Han, a native of Incheon, South Korea, recorded the first top-10 finish of his career as he finished with rounds of 68, 75 and 71 for his 214 total. His first-round 68 was his season-low round to date. This fall, Han appeared in four events, recording three top-20 showings, including his first-place finish in Hawaii. He holds a 73.33 stroke average to rank tied for 19th in the MWC.

Meanwhile, Scott, a Henderson, Nev., native, set a season-best 54-hole score as he carded rounds of 72, 69 and 73 en route to his 214 total. This season, Scott has seen action in five tournaments and has a 72.93 stroke average to rank third on the team and 14th in the MWC. He has two top-10 finishes this fall, including a sixth-place finish at the Fresno State Lexus Golf Classic and his first-place showing at the Hawaii Fall Intercollegiate.

The award marks the first of the year for the UNLV golf program.
