The Haskins Award recognizes the most outstanding male NCAADI college golfer as voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest men's golf sophomore Michael Brennan was named to the 2022 Fred Haskins Award Watch List, as announced by the Fred Haskins Commision and Stifel on Monday.
He was one of just 16 players to make the latest watch list. The Haskins Award recognizes the most outstanding male NCAADI college golfer as voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media.
This comes two months after Brennan was also named to the Ben Hogan Award Watch List along with teammate Alex Fitzpatrick.
Brennan has been the top Demon Deacon on the leaderboard after 17 of 24 rounds so far this season while also having four top three finishes and a pair of individual victories. In 18 career events, he has finished inside of the top five eight times.
This season he has taken home a pair of individual titles, claiming the Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational title along with Fitzpatrick. He followed that up in the next tournament by winning at the Colonial Collegiate Invitational.
The win at historic Colonial Country Club marked the fourth time in Brennan's career he has captured an individual title putting him with names such as Will Zalatoris and Bill Andrade to have four titles to their name at Wake Forest. Only six Demon Deacons have more than four titles in their collegiate career: Bill Haas (10), Gary Hallberg (9), Curtis Strange (8), Lanny Wadkins (5), Jay Haas (5) and Cameron Young (5).
