Stanford sophomore Maverick McNealy earned an exemption into the PGA Tour's 2015 Barbasol Championship Saturday, beating out the other four Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year Award recipients.
The five golfers earned the chance to play for a PGA Tour start after being named the top player in their respected collegiate divisions. McNealy, the Division I Player of the Year, outplayed Santiago Gomez of Nova Southeastern (Division II), Anthony Maccaglia of Oglethorpe (Division III), Sean Elliott of Dalton State (NAIA) and Kerry Sweeney of Eastern Florida State College (NJCAA) in a one-round event at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio.
