VANCOUVER - UBC Okanagan's Kendra Jones-Munk and Fraser Valley's Jackson Jacob were the inaugural Canada West Golfers of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

Both golfers earned recognition for their play during the week of September 10-17 after recording top finishes at the University of Alberta Invitational last week at Northern Bear Golf Course.

The Heat's Jones-Munk (159) finished tied for first with Calgary's Victoria Tse in the women's standings. Jones-Munk's performance, highlighted by an opening round 78 on Sunday, helped UBCO take the team title at the event.
