The award is presented to the most outstanding Division I female collegiate golfer

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State women’s golf junior Kary Hollenbaugh is one of 10 finalists for the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel and announced by the Haskins Foundation on Friday.

Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is annually given to the top female Division I collegiate golfer. The winner is voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media. Named for Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top female golfer and to match the Haskins Award presented by Stifel, which acknowledges the top male Division I collegiate golfer.

Hollenbaugh has won four individual titles during the spring season, which is tied for the most wins in a single season in program history. She picked up victories at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge, the Spartan Suncoast Invitational, the Clemson Invitational and the Therese Hession Buckeye Invitational. She tied for second place at the Big Ten Championships with a 54-hole score of 212 (-4) and tied for 10^th at NCAA Regionals with a three-round score of 216 (E).

Hollenbaugh leads the Buckeyes with a career-best 70.9 scoring average and 29 of her 30 rounds played this season have counted toward the team score. She has fired a team-best 13 rounds in the 60s and leads the Buckeyes in birdies with 102.

The winner of the ANNIKA Award will be announced on Tuesday, May 21.
