Patrick Rodgers is the winner of the 2014 Haskins Award culminating a magical college career at Stanford that made him a three-time All-American and the winner of 11 individual championships, equaling a school record held by 1996 Haskins recipient Tiger Woods. Rodgers, the Pac-12 player of the year, joins an illustrious list of past Haskins winners, an award that for 44 years has invited a player’s peers to decide the winner of college golf’s most coveted honor. Presented by Stifel, the award is governed by the Fred Haskins Commission, a 501c(3) organization based in Columbus, Ga. It is named for a resident pro at the Country Club of Columbus who long ago learned to play the game at Hoylake, the site of the 2014 British Open. The 2013 winner was Michael Kim of California so this is the second year in a row that the name of a Pac- 12 golfer will be added to the historic trophy. The Cardinal golfer will be presented the award on July 1 at a special reception at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., He also receives an exemption to compete in the 2014 Greenbrier Classic, played on the Old White TPC, a legendary course that has been testing golfers since 1914. “Patrick Rodgers is the best amateur golfer in the world and he certainly deserves a place in history. We are proud to honor him, his family and his university with an award that represents the principles, values and traditions of this wonderful game. His resume speaks for itself and it helped him emerge from a very talented cadre of college golfers this year,” said J. Madden Hatcher, the chairman of the Fred Haskins Commission. This year alone, the Indiana native finished first in the NCAA Regional Championships and the Pac-12 Championships along with the Erin Hills Intercollegiate; The Prestige at PGA West, the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters and the Goodwin. He finished second in the Sagarin/Golfweek rankings and tied for 15th in the NCAA Championships behind Stanford teammate Cameron Wilson. The sponsors of the Haskins Award are Stifel, a financial services company based in St. Louis, Mo., Golfweek and the Greenbrier Classic. Since 1970 the award has gone to that year’s most outstanding male golfer as voted upon by players, coaches and members of the golf media. Beginning this year, in partnership with legendary golfer Annika Sorenstam and the 3M Corporation, the Fred Haskins Commission will honor the top female college player with the ANNIKA AWARD. Details will be announced soon. Rodgers joins an impressive group of Haskins’ alumni that have won 28 Majors and more than 260 professional tournaments around the world. Ben Crenshaw of Texas and Phil Mickelson of Arizona are the only three-time winners on a list that includes Tiger Woods of Stanford, Matt Kuchar of Georgia Tech, Luke Donald of Northwestern, Graeme McDowell of UAB and Russell Henley of the University of Georgia.
