Sun Devil men's golfer senior-to-be Jared du Toit has earned GCAA and Golfweek Honorable Mention All-America honors after a season that saw him post five top-10 finishes. He transferred to ASU from Idaho after his sophomore season. Jon Rahm had earlier been named a first-team All-American.
His best outing helped ASU clinched the Albuquerque Regional on May-16-18, as he tied for fifth with a 4-over 220 (74-72-73-75). He finished the year with a 71.66 scoring average with 11 of 41 rounds in the 60s and 20 of them at par or better. He also posted top-10 finishes at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational, the Amer Air Invitational, Prestige at PGA West and Lamkin Grips.
The Calgary-born du Toit followed up a great junior season with a win at the Glencoe Invitational champion, earning medalist honors on June 18 Glencoe's Forest Course. The 21-year-old du Toit carded a three-round tally of 2-over 218, two shots better than Calgary's Emmett Oh (Bearspaw). It was a tough tournament, as 61 golfers combined for three times as many bogeys (992) as birdies (326).
Raised in Kimberley, B.C., du Toit is a first-year selectee to Golf Canada's national amateur squad and currently the top Canuck in the world amateur golf rankings.

Jon Rahm made quite a good impression in his pro event.
The two-time Ben Hogan Award winner put $400,200 in his pocket with a tie for third at the Quicken Loans National held at Congressional Country Club (par 71/7,569 yards) (Blue) in Bethesda, MD, as he shot 64-67-70-70 for a 13-under 271.
