SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - North Dakota State golfers Jake Skarperud and Carter White have been named the Kwik Star Summit League Men's Peak Co-Golfers of the Week, League officials announced Thursday.
 
Skarperud and White shared third at the Bluejay Invitational in Omaha, Nebraska, as both Bison golfers carded 54-hole totals of 210 (-6) to lead NDSU to its second-straight team title to open the season. Skarperud, a senior, put together three under-par rounds with a 69, 71 and 70. White, a freshman, posted rounds of 70, 67 and 73. White's 67 was an NDSU tournament best and a career best.
 
The duo led NDSU to a tournament score of 847 (-17), as the Bison posted a six-stroke victory over host Creighton and fellow Summit League member St. Thomas, who shared second. Skarperud and White also finished as the top Summit League golfers in the event.
 
Thursday's honor for Skarperud is his second Summit League Peak Golfer of the Week accolade and first since March 4, 2024. It is a first honor for White. The duo become the second and third Bison golfers to scoop up the weekly accolade this season, as Rylin Petry won the award last week, following a season-opening win for the Bison.
 
Skarperud and White also become the fourth teammates in league history to share the Summit League Peak Golfer of the Week/Month honor, with it having been done in the 2002-03, 2018-19 and 2024-25 seasons.
 
The Bison return to action early next week, competing at the Zach Johnson Invitational September 22-23, hosted by Drake at the Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa.
