Celebrating its 56th year, the Fred Haskins Award presented by Stifel is considered the most prestigious award in collegiate golf, and is presented annually to the most outstanding male golfer. The winner of the oldest individual college golf award is voted on by players, coaches, golf SIDS, and select golf media members and will be announced in early June.
Recently Poulter earned the selection to the 50th Walker Cup for the Great Britain and Ireland Team, which takes place at Cypress Point from Sept. 6-7. This past season, he had a breakout year being named a two-time All-American and winning his first collegiate title at the Schenkel Invitational with a 54-hole score of 8-under 208. A PING All-Region selection, he had the third-lowest stroke average (71.2) on the team last year with seven of his 10 postseason rounds at par or better, 22 (80%) of his 25 rounds counted and four top-6 outings.
The rising junior shined in his first postseason experience, highlighted by a 3-0 match play record at the SEC Championship as the Gators claimed their second conference title in three seasons. In 47 holes of match play at the conference tournament, Poulter won 18, tied 23 and only lost six holes. He also finished T4 at 10-under at the NCAA Bremerton Regional, Florida’s fifth tournament title.
This summer, Poulter helped lead GB&I’s victory over Continent Europe at the St. Andrews Trophy, contributing 31/2 points. He also made it to match play recently at the U.S. Amateur.
