Olivet Nazarene University’s Matt Winkelmann — a sophomore sport management major from Wheaton, Illinois — was named the CCAC Player of the Year for men’s golf. He is also the lone repeat selection on the current five-member all-conference team.
Matt registered eight top five finishes among the 12 meets in which he competed during the 2016-17 campaign. In four of those meets, he claimed individual medalist honors and was runner-up on one occasion.
He also placed third at the CCAC Championships to earn all-tournament accolades. He placed fourth place as a freshman in last year’s championship rounds.
Matt shot eight of his 22 rounds at par or better on the season highlighted by a five under par 67 at the University of St. Francis (Illinois) Fall Classic back in September. He finished the year with an average round of 74.2.
