Menlo School junior Eric Yun is SBLive's Northern California Athlete of the Week (April 17-23)

Eric Yun went low and then his vote total went very high to win SBLive's Northern California Athlete of the Week award (April 17-23), presented by Jersey Mike's Subs. 

The standout golfer at Menlo School in Atherton made five consecutive birdies en route to a 3-under medalist round of 33 at Bay View Golf Club in Milpitas. A few days earlier he shot an identical round of 33 to earn medalist honors again in a loss to Sacred Heart Prep. 

That stellar back-to-back rounds put Yun on an SBLive Sports performance list, where he beat out 19 other top performers by claiming 62 percent of the votes to easily outdistance Justin Johnson, a track and field standout at Jesuit-Carmichael (12 percent), to claim the AOW prize.
