COLUMBUS, Ga. – New Mexico senior Bastien Amat was named to the spring watch list for the 2023-24 Fred Haskins Award presented by Stifel, annually given to the nation’s top men’s collegiate golfer. Amat was one of 15 players named to the watch list for the award, which will be presented at the end of the season.
Amat, who is currently ranked No. 11 in the national individual rankings, is tied for national lead with two victories this season, having earned medalist honors at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational in California in October and the John Burns Intercollegiate in Hawaii last month. In seven events this season, he has four top-five finishes, with 16 of his 21 rounds at par or better. His 69.29 stroke average this season is on pace to break Spencer Levin’s school record of 69.95 in 2004-05.
Celebrating its 54th year, the Fred Haskins Award presented by Stifel is annually given to the top male U.S. collegiate golfer as voted on by only college golfers, coaches and members of the golf media. Past winners of the Haskins Award presented by Stifel have captured 33 major championships and more than 400 professional tournaments around the world. Named in honor of Fred Haskins, the award is managed by the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top male golfer at the end of the season and to match the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel, which acknowledges the top female Division I collegiate golfer.
Amat and the Lobos began play today at the Lamkin Invitational in San Diego.
