Congratulations Patrick Cantlay. Winner of the 2011 Fred Haskins Award
For Immediate Release
8/31/2011
U.S. Amateur runner-up Patrick Cantlay's amazing year continues with the announcement that the UCLA sophomore is the winner of the coveted Fred Haskins Award — an honor that since 1971 has gone to the nation's outstanding collegiate golfer.
Cantlay, the No. 1 amateur golfer in the world, will receive the 2011 award in Los Angeles in November, according to Haskins Commission Chairman Madden Hatcher Jr.
"Patrick Cantlay had an outstanding college golf season. His record vaulted him to the top of the list for the 2011 Fred Haskins Award. He followed that with a terrific summer of amateur golf, was selected to represent the United States on its Walker Cup team and was runner-up in the U.S. Amateur. We are indeed proud of Patrick’s accomplishments and for his selection as the winner of the Haskins Award for 2011," Hatcher said.
Since its inception, winners of the Haskins Award have won 28 majors and 250 PGA and Champions Tour events. They have also participated in 42 Ryder Cup championships.
Cantlay was aware of that legacy.
"It’s obviously a great honor. I know (the award) has been around for a long time and there are some great names who have won it. So to join that group is pretty special," the UCLA star said.

You might ask...
Why the commission has carried on this tradition for over 40 years now. And the answer is because the commission is honoring
a great man who inspired thousands of amateur golfers throughout his long and storied career in golf. We wish to promote the game
by giving young amateur golfers something to aspire to. You might say we are simply carrying on a love for the game, and the values
it teaches us as human beings. Something Mr. Haskins did for a nickel a day - and that was for the caddie.
The list of champions this award has produced over the last 40 years is one of the most impressive lists ever produced in the game of Golf. From the first three Fred Haskins Awards
going to Mr. Ben Crenshaw from the University of Texas - to Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods - to current "young guns" golfers Jamie Lovemark, Kevin Chappell, Bill Haas, and Hunter Mahan - to
the hottest names in golf like Matt Kuchar, Luke Donald, and Graeme McDowell. This list has compiled 28 Majors, individually participated in 42 Ryder Cups, had over 250 PGA and Champions Tour victories, and over 350 worldwide victories.
That list grows seemingly every week.
While winning a Fred Haskins Award certainly does not guarantee this type of success, nor does it have anything to do with their success, it does provide each and every young amateur golfer inspiration to achieve not only in Golf, but in life.
We proudly carry on this tradition and look forward to seeing the next great amateurs take their game to the collegiate level, and compete for the highest achievement in Collegiate Golf.
