STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State freshman Morgan Hoffmann collected a pair of honors on Wednesday with his selection as the Big 12 Golfer of the Month and the Southern Golf Association's National Amateur of the Month for April.
The Wyckoff, N.J., native began the month with a 32nd-place showing at the U.S. Collegiate in Alpharetta, Ga., Hoffmann then notched a runner-up finish while helping the Cowboys snare their third title of the spring at the Aggie Invitational in Bryan, Texas. Hoffmann posted rounds of 69 and 70 to finish with a 5-under 139 total and one shot behind teammate Rickie Fowler.
Hoffmann capped his month with a victory at the Big 12 Championship, making him the third consecutive OSU player to claim medalist honors at the event. In the process, he helped OSU to its 52nd conference title in 63 years.
The victory was Hoffmann's third of the year and tied him with Jonathan Moore for the most victories by a freshman in school history. Following the win, he was also named the Big 12 Player and Newcomer of the Year.
Hoffmann received the Big 12 honor for the second consecutive month and shared the SGA recognition with Marquette's Mike Van Sickle.
