COLUMBUS, Ga. – Fighting Illini fifth-year senior golfers Adrien Dumont de Chassart and Tommy Kuhl have both been named among 20 collegiate standouts on the Fred Haskins Award Final Fall watch list, announced Monday (Oct. 24) through Haskins Award media partners Golf Channel and Golfweek.
Illinois is one of four programs nationally with multiple honorees, joining North Carolina, Texas Tech, and Vanderbilt.
Dumont de Chassart, the reigning two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, was initially named to the preseason watch list on Sept. 1, and the native of Villers la Ville, Belgium, has continued his stellar play to open the 2022-23 season. Dumont de Chassart opened the year with a tie for second at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational (Sept. 16-18), followed by a tie for third at the Folds of Honor Collegiate (Sept. 26-28), and a tie for 14th at the Dayton Flyer Invitational (Oct. 17-18). He has also risen up the PGA Tour University rankings, ascending from an initial ranking of No. 7 to sit at No. 3 in the most recent release.
Kuhl has also continue his hot streak that dates back to last season when he closed as the Illini’s top finisher at the NCAA New Haven Regional and narrowly missed an individual berth to the NCAA Championship. This season, Kuhl, a 2022 All-Big Ten first team honoree from Morton, Ill., has opened the year with three-consecutive top five finishes; he recorded a solo fifth at Olympia Fields, followed by a tie for fifth at the Folds of Honor and a share of fourth at the Dayton Flyer Invite, both Illinois team wins.
Entering play this week at the Isleworth Collegiate, the final tournament of the fall schedule for the Illini, Kuhl and Dumont de Chassart rank 1-2 in stroke overage at 70.8 and 70.9, respectively, both on pace for top 10 marks in program history.
