Park Ridge, Ill. - Illinois junior Scott Langley has been named the Big Ten Golfer of the Week. Langley fired consecutive rounds of 68 en route to a runner-up finish at the LA Classics Invitational held at the 7,141-yard par-72 Oakbourne Club in Lafayette, La., Monday and Tuesday.

The All-American carded a 73 in the final round of competition to tally a seven-under 209 score, just one stroke shy of the top spot, in leading his team to a second-place finish. This is the fourth career Big Ten Golfer of the Week award for Langley, who earned three during his sophomore campaign in 2009.

Langley's honor makes it two in a row from Illinois as junior Chris DeForest captured Big Ten Golfer of the Week last week in helping the Illini win the Tinervin Cup.
