Wheaton, Ill. -- The CCIW announced its latest accolade in men's golf this afternoon, and Wheaton junior Freddie Chan earned the weekly recognition following his standout performance at last Tuesday's Benedictine Eagle Invite. This marks Chan's first career conference award, and he joins teammate Wyatt Brown as a CCIW Golfer of the Week this season, as Wheaton leads all conference programs with three weekly honors in 2026-27.

The Thunder sent two teams to last week's Eagle Invite in West Chicago, and Wheaton's 'A' lineup won the 21-team competition thanks in part to Chan's strong play. The Wheaton native carded an 18-hole score of 70 (-2) to finish tied for first place on the 114-player leaderboard, joining teammates Brown, Micah Chiong, and Luke Pringle atop the solo podium. Chan's red-hot form on the back nine of last Tuesday's round helped clinch Wheaton's second tournament win of the fall season, as the third-year competitor tallied two eagles, one birdie, and no bogeys in one of his strongest showings on the links to date.

Chan and his teammates finished their 2026 slate at the Central College Fall Classic earlier this week and will return to competition in the spring semester.
