FORT WORTH, Texas – Washington fifth year Petr Hruby has been named to the watch list for the 2024 Ben Hogan Award presented by PNC Bank, announced jointly by the Hogan Trophy Award Foundation, the Friends of Golf (FOG) and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
The Ben Hogan Award presented by PNC Bank annually awards the top men’s NCAA Division I, II or III, NAIA or NJCAA college golfer based on all collegiate, amateur and professional events over the previous 12 months. Hruby is one of 40 of the nation’s top collegiate men’s golfers tabbed to the list.
Hruby, the No. 5 ranked Huskies’ leader in scoring average, has posted a top-10 finish in four of six tournaments competed in this season. The Czech Republic native is ranked No. 25 in Clippd’s individual rankings and is the No. 57 ranked amateur golfer in the world.
A two-time All-Pac-12 honoree, Hruby has fired eight sub-70 rounds this season, including three straight at the Husky Invitational to finish second overall. He also shot three rounds under 70 this past weekend at the Amer Ari, tying for eighth on the individual leaderboard.
About The Ben Hogan Award
An esteemed selection committee votes during each stage of the process for the Ben Hogan Award. The selection committee is comprised of more than 30 leaders in collegiate, amateur and professional golf.
This year’s list of 10 semifinalists, which could include individuals not on the watch list, will be unveiled Friday, April 19. That group will be pared down to three finalists on Thursday, May 2. The finalists will attend a black-tie dinner Monday, May 20, at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, where the winner will be crowned.
The Ben Hogan Award presented by PNC Bank has honored the outstanding amateur collegiate golfer at Colonial Country Club since 2002. Prior to its move to Fort Worth, the original Ben Hogan Trophy, which was awarded based on a different list of criteria, was issued at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles beginning in 1990.
