Cole Hammer named to All-Nicklaus Team.
AUSTIN, Texas – University of Texas Men's Golf freshman Cole Hammer was named to the All-Nicklaus team presented by Barbasol as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Monday afternoon.
Hammer, a GCAA First Team All-American, earned the Division I Phil Mickelson Outstanding Freshman Award, leading the Longhorns to a runner-up finish at the 2019 NCAA Championships. Hammer had eight top-10 finishes in 11 events, including tying for medalist honors in three tournaments.
Players from Divisions I, II, III, NAIA and NJCAA were recognized for their outstanding play during the 2018-19 collegiate season. The All-Nicklaus Team was created in 2008, and is not only named for history's greatest player but also a long-time supporter of collegiate and amateur golf. Jack Nicklaus, a Big Ten and NCAA Champion at The Ohio State University, helped inspire and create the Jack Nicklaus Award in 1988 and it is now presented to the National Player of the year in NCAA Divisions I, II and III, as well as NAIA and NJCAA. Award recipients have combined for over 200 victories worldwide and claimed 23 major championships.
