Rose Zhang is making a strong case for back-to-back Annika Awards.
Zhang, last year's player of the year as a freshman, has won five times this season, one more title than she captured a season ago. She headlines a list of 15 players named to the latest watch list for the Annika Award presented by Stifel.
The Annika Award is given annually to the most outstanding women's college golfer, as voted on by players, coaches and media. Past winners of the award include Leona Maguire and Maria Fassi, both two-time winners.
Wake Forest leads the way with three players on the list, including senior Rachel Kuehn, who has a win at the Stephens Cup, where Zhang was T-12, and four other top-6 finishes.
