Golf sensation Patrick Cantlay picked up another impressive accolade this summer, winning the Southern California Golf Association's Amateur Championship. GO BRUINS

The Philadelphia Inquirer profiles our Patrick, who says again he'll stay all four years. Given how much money he's giving up by staying, maybe he can be a role model for some of our Benballers.

From the UCLA website: Cantlay becomes the first UCLA golfer to win the award since Kevin Chappell won it in 2008, and he joins Chappell, Corey Pavin (1982) and Duffy Waldorf (1985) as the only UCLA golfers to win National Player of the Year honors. He also became the first golfer to win both National Player of the Year and National Freshman of the Year in the same season.
