University of Georgia senior golfer Greyson Sigg has been named to the 2017 Ben Hogan Award watch list.
 
The Ben Hogan Award is presented annually to the top college golfer taking into account all collegiate and amateur competitions during the past 12-month period.
 
 
The list of 10 semifinalists will be unveiled April 12. On May 3, that group will be pared down to three finalists.

Serving as team captain, he paced the Bulldogs during the fall portion of the 2016-17 campaign with a scoring average of 69.58 and top-10 finishes in three of the four tournaments. Sigg finished a career-best 12-under in two events and fired a personal-best 7-under in the Ka’anapali Collegiate.
