RICHMOND, Va. - College of Charleston fifth year Nevill Ruiter was named the CAA Golfer of the Week after winning the individual title at the Giles-Sprately Collegiate on Tuesday.
Ruiter led the Cougars to their third team title of the season and a 13-stroke victory at the Giles-Spratley Collegiate in Richmond, Va., after capturing co-medalist honors with a 9-under 207. The graduate golfer unloaded seven birdies in the opening round to shoot 4-under for the afternoon. A birdie on 17 in the second round helped Ruiter continue his trend of turning in cards under par with a 1-under 71. Late round theatrics paid dividends for the Netherlands product as Ruiter birdied on three of his final six holes, including the 18th hole, to catch Florida Gulf Coast's Sacha Ruiz for a tie atop the leaderboard. His 17 birdies on the weekend led the field of 84.
Charleston returns to action April 26-28 for the 2026 CAA Men's Golf Championship at Dataw Island.
