Moss Named to the Fred Haskins Award Watch List
November 09, 2023 | Men's Golf
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville junior Sebastian Moss has been named to the Fred Haskins Award Watch List, which is given to nation's top golfer.
Moss, one of the team's top golfers in the fall, is coming off a remarkable fall where he posted four top-10 finishes and became the first player in school history to win back-to-back tournaments. He posted a score of -12-under-par to win the Bearcat Invitational and followed that up with another victory at the Rod Myers Invitational with a score of 11-under-par.
The junior recorded two other top-10 finishes by placing in a tie forninth at the Notre Dame Invitational and tied for sixth at the Williams Cup.
Moss finished the fall with a team-best 70.06 stroke average and recorded eight rounds in the 60s during the fall campaign.
Fred Haskins was born in Hoylake, England, on May 1, 1898. In 1921, he came to Atlanta's East Lake Country Club, where he became a close friend of Bobby Jones. A year later, it was Jones who recommended Haskins for the head golf professional position at the Country Club of Columbus. Haskins' greatest impact was in teaching and inspiring junior golfers.
As a tribute to his teaching abilities, his young pupils went on to win more than 150 championships. In 1922, Haskins also
started the Country Club of Columbus Invitational, now held annually as the Southeastern Amateur. Haskins retired in 1952 after 34 years of service as the golf professional, but remained at the Country Club of Columbus as golf course superintendent until 1971. Also in 1971, the Fred Haskins Award was established to honor his lifelong dedication to golf and his teaching accomplishments. The Haskins Trophy, which is nationally regarded as the Heisman of college golf, is presented annually to honor the most outstanding collegiate golfer in the United States. Haskins died on April 5, 1981.
