PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior men's golfer Bobby Jacobs (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Male Scholar-Athlete of the Week, presented by Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri, according to an announcement by the league office Tuesday.

Jacobs opened the 2016-17 season with the lowest 54-hole total of his career (215), tying for second at the Crusader Collegiate. After a three-over 75 in the first round at Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Ind., Jacobs fired a one-under 71 in the second round. He wrapped up the two-day event with a career-best three-under 69 to finish at 215, one shot behind teammate Ethan Brue (Chandlerville, Ill./AC Central/Illinois Central) for medalist honors. He helped the Bradley men's golf team to a 30-shot victory and Bradley's second-lowest 54-hole team score (864) in school history. A civil engineering major, Jacobs owns a perfect 4.00 cumulative grade point average.

To qualify for Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week honors, student-athletes must carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20, completed at least one academic year at a Valley institution and must be at least a sophomore in academic standing. Redshirt freshmen and first-year junior college transfers are not eligible. In addition to the academic qualifications, student-athletes will be evaluated on their athletic performance for a one-week period.

Jacobs and the Bradley men's golf team return to action Monday and Tuesday at the John Dallio Memorial in Lemont, Ill.
