Keegan de Lange named the Most Valuable Player
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The University of Louisville men's golf team handed out its team awards for the 2016-17 season, head coach Mark Crabtree announced on Monday.
After missing out on regional play for the first time in three years, the Cardinals still had an impressive list of accomplishments. The Cardinals won the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate after shooting a combined 8-under par, and also posted a pair top-five finishes with four underclassmen and a pair of juniors in the lineup for most of the year.
After reaching the NCAA Regionals as an individual, sophomore Keegan de Lange was tabbed for the Ted Schulz Award, given to the team's most valuable player.
De Lange was one of ten individuals competing at the NCAA Championships, finishing in 63rd place after shooting a score of 233.
The Pretoria, South Africa, native was the team's leader throughout the 2016-17 campaign. De Lange compiled a 73.06 stroke average through 35 rounds, 12 of which were par or better. He recorded three top-10 finishes, with his best finish being a third- place finish at the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate – shooting a 3-under par 213 – in the lone championship of the season.
De Lange recorded seven top 20 finishes this season, including a tie for 9th at the John Hayt Invitational in Jacksonville, Fla., by firing a 2-over par 218.
In his first season with the Cardinals, junior Nicolas Platret was a key addition to the unit. Finishing with the fourth-highest stroke average, Platret appeared in nine events, with three ending in top 20 finishes. His best conclusion was sixth at the Kingsmill Intercollegiate and ninth at the John Hayt.
The Condit Dow Award, for the player with the highest grade-point average, was given to freshman Trevor Johnson.
