COLUMBUS, Ga. – Iowa State senior Pammy Chookaew has been named to the ANNIKA Award Final Fall Watch List. Chookaew, the highest-ranked golfer in the Big 12 Conference, was one of three student-athletes from the Big 12 to be named to the watch list.
Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is annually given to the top female NCAA Division I collegiate golfer; the winner voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media. Named for Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top female golfer and to match the Haskins Award presented by Stifel, which acknowledges the top male NCAA Division I collegiate golfer.
In the fall season alone, Chookaew has already put together one of the best seasons in Cyclone history. She’s ranked 17th in the country and has finished in the Top 5 in three of the four events this fall. She won the Wolverine Invitational, where she fired the first of her two season-low rounds of 67.
Chookaew currently has a 69.5 stroke average on the season, the lowest in program history. Her 73.02 career stroke average is the second-best in program history behind her teammate Karisa Chul-Ak-Sorn’s 72.54.
The Cyclones open the spring portion of the schedule Feb. 1-3 at the Puerto Rico Classic.
