BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Two days after tying the best tournament finish of his University of Tennessee at Martin career, Luke Caldwell has been named the Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Week.
Competing at the Bubba Barnett Intercollegiate in Jonesboro, Ark., Caldwell picked up his second top-10 and third top-15 finish in as many tournaments to start his senior season. He placed fourth out of 72 competitors with an overall score of 208 (-8), accounting for red scores in all three rounds (68 in Round 1, 69 in Round 2, 71 in Round 3). The fourth-place performance equaled his previous best collegiate finish as he also came in fourth at the TSU Big Blue Intercollegiate on April 7-8, 2025.
Caldwell ranked third in the field in birdies (15), third in par-3 scoring (2.83, -2), fourth in par-4 scoring (3.97, -1) and sixth in par-5 scoring (4.58, -5). His efforts helped the Skyhawks to their third consecutive top-four team finish (second runner-up performance) to begin the season.
A southpaw out of Cookeville, Tenn., Caldwell becomes the 21st player in program history to win the OVC weekly honor. He currently leads the league with a 69.2 stroke average, posting under-par scores in eight of his nine rounds so far during the 2025-26 campaign.
UT Martin continues its fall slate next week when it travels to The Scrappy at Cobblestone, hosted by Kennesaw State on Oct. 13-14 in Acworth, Ga.
