The Big West Conference Golfer of the Month honors for March were awarded to UC Santa Barbara's Glen Scher, on the men's side, and UC Davis' Amy Simanton for the women.

Scher became the first UC Santa Barbara golfer in more than four years to win an individual championship when he posted a 7-under-par 209 (70-67-72) to earn the title at the 2011 Barona Collegiate Cup held at the Barona Creek Golf Club in Lakeside, Calif. The Agoura Hills native, finished one shot better than Scott Smith of Nevada and J.J. Spaun of San Diego State.

Along with his impressive win at the Barona Collegiate Cup, Scher posted two additional Top 20 scores. He opened the month tying for 16th place with a three-round total of 221 (76-74-71) and closed out March finishing 20th at the OGIO UCSB Invite with a 225 (73-73-79) score.

Simanton was one of four Aggies to place in the top 10 at the Fresno State Lexus Classic after posting the fourth-best score of 222 (74-73-75). Her stellar performances assisted UC Davis in grabbing the team title, the Aggies first victory of the season. A few weeks later the Lake Oswego, Ore., native fired a 1-under 71 in the first round of the Battle at Rancho Bernardo tournament. Simanton went on to pace the Aggies with a three-round score of 221, placing her 11th in the 95-person field.
