May 25, 2016 LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV men's golfer John Oda has been named the Outstanding Rebel of the Week presented by Air Force Reserve, the school announced Wednesday.
The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition, as voted on by the UNLV communications department.
Oda led No. 25 UNLV men's golf to a sixth-place finish at the 2016 NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional last week. The sophomore tied for eighth individually at 3-under-par 213 and shot 2-under 70 during the final round. UNLV missed advancing to the national finals by one spot in the standings, as did Oda individually. He was the next individual finisher not on an advancing team. Only the top individual from a team that doesn't advance is invited to the NCAA finals to compete without their team. He shot 72 and 71 during the first two days of the tournament.
