Maverick McNealy ’13 was named one of three finalists for The Ben Hogan Award, given annually to the top men’s college golfer. Colonial Country Club, Friends of Golf and the Golf Coaches Association of America take into account all collegiate and amateur competitions over the last year when selecting the finalists. McNealy joins Bill Haas of Wake Forest as the only three-time finalist for this award. The winner “will receive the first exemption into the PGA Tour’s 2018 Dean & DeLuca Invitational, as well as earn a $30,000 grant for its [college’s] men’s golf scholarship program,” according to thebenhoganaward.org.

This is the sixth time a Stanford golfer has made it to the final three for this award, of which only one Cardinal golfer has won.

Among his many accolades, McNealy is currently No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and was recently named the winner of the 2017 Byron Nelson Award. 

The winner will be announced on May 22 at a black-tie dinner at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. For more info, check out http://thebenhoganaward.org/clark-mcnealy-and-meyer-selected-as-hogan-award-finalists/
