Scott O’Brien, from Nenagh was ranked the 16th best player in America this past season.
O’Brien is only one of five athletes in America to receive the honour after recording a stroke average of 73.6 over 10 rounds. He capped off an impressive Freshman campaign by being named in the PING All-American team.
Speaking to Tipp FM he explained that a number of American golf coaches selected him for the team through a coaches poll.
“All the Freshman players are put into a category and there’s another award for all the softmores,” explained Scott.
