After a top five finish at the Saint Mary’s Invitational, Cal Poly freshman Frederick Egnatios has been voted The Big West Golfer of the Month for October. This is a first career honor Scottsdale, Ariz., native. 

Egnatios took fifth out of 104 golfers at the 54-hole event, held at Bayonet/Black Horse Oct. 19-21, finishing one shot behind the four players who split the individual title.  

The first-year collegian put together a three-round total of 9-under 207, featured by a first-round 66 which ties the lowest round by a Mustang this season. Egnatios’ 66 was dotted by eight birdies and followed by a 4-under 68. The final round saw an eagle on the 517-yard Par 5 10th hole.  

Egnatios’ other October event was at The Preserve Golf Club Collegiate Oct. 26-27. His best round was his first, a 2-under 70 with four birdies on the card, before finishing up at 7-over 223.  

The award caps an impressive first fall at Cal Poly, as Egnatios took home the title at the Windon Memorial during the last week of September.
