Sophomore Norman Xiong was named the leader in the race for the Fred Haskins Award, given annually to the top men's collegiate golfer, on the latest update to the watch list Thursday. He was also selected as one of 10 semifinalists for the Ben Hogan Award, also awarded to the most outstanding collegiate golfer.
The Canyon Lake, Calif. native has been on fire of late, winning three consecutive tournaments to set new program-records for career wins with six, and single-season victories with five.
Xiong picked up two victories in one week, winning at the Duck Invitational on March 27 and again at The Goodwin March 31.
