Bloomington, Ind. - Indiana men's golfer Jeff Overton is a finalist for the 2004 Ben Hogan Award, presented annually to the top men's NCAA Division I, II, or III or NAIA golfer. The list was released by the Friends of Golf (FOG) and Colonial Country Club, in cooperation with Bank of America and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
The fourth-ranked (Golfstat) junior is one of 34 golfers on the watch list, joining other notable nominees including Outback Steakhouse Arnold Palmer Award winners Alejandro Cañizares and Chico State's J.J. Jakovac and 2003 first-team PING All-America selections Dustin Bray of North Carolina, Wake Forest's Bill Haas, Brock Mackenzie of Washington and Arizona's Chris Nallen.
"The depth in college golf this year is reflected in the watch list for the Hogan," stated GCAA Executive Director Gregg Grost. "Obviously, a great collegiate amateur will be chosen in this, the Heisman of college golf."
The Hogan Award selection committee will select 10 semi-finalists on April 14 and name five finalists on April 27. The winner of the Hogan Award will be announced on May 6 and the presentation banquet will be held at Colonial Country Club on May 17, the Monday prior to the Bank of America Colonial.
