BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Led by two straight stellar efforts from junior Stuart Easton, the WKU Hilltopper Golf team returns to the course this week at the Kennesaw State's Pinetree Intercollegiate.
 
The Hilltoppers will be in action Monday and Tuesday at the par-72, 7,108-yard Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Ga. The first two rounds will be played Monday starting at 7:10 a.m. CT with tee times, while the final round is set for 7:10 a.m. Tuesday.
 
Easton won his first Conference USA Golfer of the Week award last week after finishing third at Wyoming's Southern Dunes Invitational. Both the third-place result and Easton's three-round 209 total were the best marks of his career.
 
"It was just a really good week," said Easton, who also tied for fifth at the Memphis Intercollegiate earlier this season. "I've done a lot of work on my putting, which really helped me. I made some key putts at the right times and played really solid with very few mistakes."
 
Easton, redshirt junior Billy Tom Sargent, redshirt sophomore Linus Lo and freshmen Crimson Callahan and Chase Landrum will travel to Georgia this week.
 
Head coach Phillip Hatchett said last week that he believes the sky is the limit for WKU when all team members are clicking at the same time, and Easton agrees.
 
"We're on the verge of doing really big things," Easton said. "The freshman are really starting to come into their own and get comfortable in the college events. It's just normal golf tournaments. We've played so many before, and they don't need to do anything different. All of our guys can contribute."
