MEN'S GOLF'S WEBBER NAMED ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
April 01, 2004

Webber recorded a 2-under par 68 in the final round, giving him a 4-under 206 total for the meet, tying the fourth lowest winning score in the history of the Western. It was his seventh top 20 and third top 10 finish this season, but ironically the first time in 2003-04 he has finished in the top 5. The Lismore, Australia native had two previous second place finishes in his career, in CU's 2001 Stevinson Ranch Invitational and in the 2002 Ohio State Kepler Intercollegiate.
Webber birdied four of his last 10 holes, rebounding from a double bogey on No. 2, when he hit his tee shot out of bounds on the left side. He was one of only three players in the 78-man field to record two subpar rounds in the meet as he won by two strokes over Long Beach State's Bret Lederer, who also closed with a 68 for a 208 total.
