Despite the abrupt end to the college golf season, a handful of players had plenty of opportunity to separate themselves at the top of the game. With the second half of the spring season called off due to coronavirus – and no postseason during which to make a run – these 10 women make up the final ANNIKA Award Watch List of the season.
The ANNIKA Award Presented by Stifel goes to the top player in college women’s golf, as selected by college golfers, coaches and members of the golf media. Voting runs from April 7-21 on the award’s website with the winner earning an exemption to 2021 Evian Championship.
Players are listed alphabetically.
Haskins Award: Who’s up for men’s player of the year?
Golfweek Women’s Rankings: Team | Individual
Ana Belac, Duke
Golfweek/Sagarin Ranking: 3
Golfstat Ranking: 11
Scoring Average: 71.85
The senior from Slovenia balanced a fall run to the second stage of LPGA Q-School well and still managed to lead the Blue Devils in scoring for the year. Even though the spring season ended abruptly, Belac had proved herself with top-10 finishes in two of the toughest fields assembled all year – she was T-5 at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge and ninth at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate.
