WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A trio of Purdue seniors have been recognized by the Big Ten Conference as Golfers to Watch for the 2023-24 season, which swings into action this weekend in Wisconsin.
Seniors Herman Sekne, Peyton Snoeberger and Nick Dentino were all recognized in advance of the 2023-24 Purdue men's golf season.
Sekne, who hails from Oslo, Norway, is the headliner of the group. The returning third-team All-America selection set school records a year ago for stroke average (71.66) and rounds in the 60s (14) while being named first-team All-Big Ten for the second straight year. He finished the year ranked No. 27 in the final Golfstat rankings and played in premier international-team events this summer – the Arnold Palmer Cup and the Bonallack Trophy.
Sekne has been named the Big Ten Golfer of the Week seven times during his career and owns three individual titles in his first three years at Purdue. He is currently ranked No. 27 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) and No. 17 in the initial PGA Tour U. rankings.
Snoeberger, a senior from Williamsport, Indiana, has had a strong career, owning six top-20 finishes for his career and reaching the U.S. Amateur Round of 32 during the summer of 2022. He currently owns a 74.39 stroke average.
Dentino, a Carmel, Indiana native, had a strong junior campaign, ranking second on the team with two top-10 finishes and third in stroke average at 72.90. Dentino reached the match play portion at the U.S. Amateur a couple of weeks ago and has played in 33 career events, owning eight top-20 finishes.
Purdue's fall season gets underway Sunday at the Marquette Intercollegiate at world-renowned Erin Hills in Hartford, Wis.
