SOUTH BEND, Ind. – University of Notre Dame men’s golfer Jacob Modleski is one of 35 collegiate male golfers to be named to the Ben Hogan Award Watch List, as announced by the Hogan Trophy Award Foundation, the Friends of Golf, and the Golf Coaches Association of America Wednesday. The award recognizes the most accomplished golfers across all of college golf.
Modleski, a sophomore on the Irish men’s golf team, led his team to a pair of tournament wins in the fall season and finished as one of the top college rookies a season ago. Last fall, Modleski finished at or below par at all seven tournaments, including his best, a minus-six, at the Folds of Honor Collegiate to open the season.
In addition to being named a Watch List honoree, Modleski was recently named to the inaugural U.S. Elite Amateur Program roster.
Modleski and the rest of the Irish begin their spring slate of competition at the Watersound Invitational Feb. 17-19 in Panama City Beach, Florida.
