FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas Razorbacks golfer Maria Fassi was named the winner of the ANNIKA Award as the top player in women's college golf on Wednesday.
The award, in its fifth year, is named for Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam, who announced Fassi as the winner in a live broadcast on the Golf Channel.
Fassi, a junior from Pachuca, Mexico, won an Arkansas-record seven tournaments in 2018 and went 3-0 in match play to help the Razorbacks capture their first SEC championship. Fassi tied for medalist honors at the SECs before losing in a playoff to South Carolina's Ainhoa Olara, then rallied down the stretch to take the individual title at the NCAA Austin Regional while helping the Razorbacks claim their first regional title.
