Murray State's Cameron Carrico is the Ohio Valley Conference Men's Golfer of the Week as announced by the league office.

The sophomore from Owensboro, Ky. carded rounds of 63-72-75 to finish with a 6-under par score of 210 and finished second at the Tennessee State Big Blue Intercollegiate in Nashville, Tenn. on Tuesday.

He had a 9-under round of 63 to open play, the lowest round of the tournament by five strokes and his collegiate low round. His round featured seven birdies, an eagle and no bogeys.

Carrico helped Murray State finish second overall as a team, just four strokes behind Belmont.

He has one win and three second-place finishes in 10 events in the 2008-09 season with a 72.4 stroke average over 30 rounds.

Carrico has been named golfer of the week twice, the other coming March 11.

Teammate Jared Wolfe was the award winner last week.

The Racers begin play Friday at the UK Bluegrass Invitational at the University Club in Lexington, Ky.
