Anchorage golfer Jack Carr was named Alaska Athlete of the Week after his stirring victory at the Anchorage Open men’s championship.

The 17-year-old West High senior birdied Nos. 17 and 18 and fired a sterling 3-under 69 in the final round of the 36-hole course championship to come from behind.

His final day performance put him one stroke ahead of legendary local golfer Benjie Sumulong, who is 48 years his senior.

The Alaska Athlete of the Week is selected by a panel each Monday.
