BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana junior Drew Salyers was named one of three finalists for the Ben Hogan Award: October Golfer of the Month, the organization announced on Tuesday afternoon.

He tied for 16th at the Purdue Fall Invitational with a three-round score of 221 (74-75-72; +5) on Oct. 11 before turning in back-to-back Big Ten Men's Golfer of the Week honors.
At Quail Valley, Salyers turned in a scorecard of 199 (65-65-69; -17) to become the second Hoosier in program history to secure a 54-hole scorecard under 200. He also matched the 36-hole school record with a 130 (65-65) during the opening day of competition.
The following week, the Howard, Ohio, native won The Williams Cup with a score of 212 (72-70-70; -4). He led the 60-player field with 16 birdies across all three rounds. He was tied for second in Par 3 scoring (2.92) and Par 4 scoring (3.90).
