LUBBOCK, Texas – Sophomore Calum Scott and senior Ludvig Aberg have been named to the fall 20-person Fred Haskins Award Watch List, the organization announced Tuesday.
The No. 2 overall player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and the top-ranked player in the PGA Tour U Rankings, Aberg has played nine rounds of stroke play this fall, shooting an average score of 68.78. The Swede has just one round over par this season and has shot six rounds of 70 or better.
Aberg has finished inside the top-10 of all three events the Red Raiders have played including a third-place finish at the Frederica Cup and an eighth place finish at the Ben Hogan.
The senior went an impressive 4-1 last week in the five matches at the 2022 Big 12 Match Play and shot -26 over the five rounds of play.
Last Wednesday, Aberg swung the match in favor of the Red Raiders when he sunk a pair of birdie putts on 17 and 18 to finish card a final round 66.
Tech's second player on the Haskins Watch List, Scott, has also had a successful fall. The sophomore from Scotland has shot an average score of 68.56 over his nine fall rounds, and has six scores of at least 69 or better. In the opening round of the Frederica Cup, Scott shot a personal best round of 63.
During Big 12 Match Play, Scott combined to go -7 for the week including -5 against UT and OU. In Wednesday's championship match against OU, Scott made a clutch par putt to seal the final half-point that the Red Raiders needed.
Tech's Big 12 Match Play title was their second in the five-year history of the event. The Red Raiders are the only team to have recorded multiple Big 12 Match Play titles. As team, Tech shot -59 over the three day event.
The No. 1 ranked Red Raiders concluded the fall season with a pair of victories (Big 12 Match Play, Inverness Intercollegiate) for the first time since 2019. Tech opens its spring schedule on Feb. 8-10 at the Amer Ari hosted by the University of Hawai'i.
