WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue junior Nick Dentino has been named the John K. David Player of the Year, the Indiana Golf Association announced last week.
Dentino had a strong summer to become the fourth Purdue golfer in the last 11 years to win the award (Tyler Duncan – 2011; Adam Schenk – 2013; Joe Weiler – 2019), and is off to a good start in his junior season at Purdue.
Dentino recorded three top-six finishes in the Indiana Golf Assocation's premier events over the summer, placing fourth at both the Indiana Open and the Indiana Amateur and sixth at the Indianpolis Open.
