CONGRATULATIONSMARK EBO L’16

HISTORYHISTORY

The Connor Award, which dates to 1959, was set up by the Holy Cross Club of the Pioneer Valley. Chosen by vote of the varsity squad, the honoree is the player of whom his teammates are proudest.

George Connor, a two-year captain and an early member of the Varsity Club Hall of Fame, is generally placed on the all-time College team for his skilled performance at end.  He became an ordained priest in the Diocese of Springfield. When war came in 1917, father volunteered as military chaplains Fr. [later Monsignor] Connor, vicar general of the Diocese of Springfield. He was being honored, the citation read, “for his record on other fields than Fitton and for greater goals than touchdowns.”

Duke Golf MVP

Especially in an abbreviated season, golf is a hard sport to pick out an MVP. Even the best players in the world can light up the course one day and look absolutely lost the next. That being said,  Evan  Katz had the biggest impact in Duke’s best results on the season, making him the team’s most valuable player.

The Washington, D.C., product finished the season as Golfweek’s No. 11 ranked player in the country. Playing in four stroke play tournaments, Katz led Duke with a 70.92 scoring average. He finished the season exceptionally strong, posting top-10 finishes in the last three stroke play tournaments he competed in. Stroke play tournaments weren’t the only stages where the Landon School alum made an impact, however, as he finished the season with a 5-3 record in match play,  and paired with senior Chandler Eaton for two wins at both the Jack Nicklaus Invitational and the Cypress Point Classic.

Katz’s defining moment this season coincided with Duke’s best result as a team, as he led the Blue Devils to their only win of the season at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate tournament. Katz posted an impressive three-under score of 213 on his way to a sixth-place individual finish.
