I dont mean to rain on your parade catamount man, but golfstat only has the aggegrate score while GolfWeek has a rating system taking into account the difficulty of the field and the course played.

According to GolfWeek Matt is 12th. I've seen him play and he is damn good. And yes I realize youmight think that I am biased to that site since their #1 golfer is DJ from CCU.

I'll have to make a thread for this just 'cause. :smiley_wi

Cook named to All-American Team

Catamount golfer Matt Cook, a junior from Murphy, N.C. and the nation's top-rated collegiate golfer, was honored twice by Golf World, making its mid-season "All-American" team and being named "Most Surprising Player" in the nation by the publication.

Cook was one of 12 named to the Golf World mid-season "All-American" team, joining Charlie Beljan (New Mexico, Sr.), Rhys Davies (East Tennessee State, Sr.), Derek Fathauer (Louisville, Jr.), Brian Harman (Georgia, Soph.), Billy Horschel (Florida, Soph.), Dustin Johnson (Coastal Carolina, Sr.), Colt Knost (SMU, Sr.), Niklas Lemke (Arizona State, Sr.), Jamie Lovemark (USC, Fr.), Zack Miller (Stanford, Sr.) and Daniel Summerhays (BYU, Jr.).

Cook, who had three victories in five events during the fall, is currently the top-rated golfer among all collegians. The two-time Southern Conference Golfer of the Month this fall, Cook has a stroke average of 69.33 over 12 rounds. He has only shot over par once in those 12 rounds, carding a one-over 73 in his first 18 holes of the fall season. After that, he was 33 strokes under par over his last 11 rounds.


Matt Cook Honored By SoCon For Second Consecutive Month

Cook Set Two WCU Records in Winning Two Events

Nov. 9, 2006

Cullowhee, N.C. - For the second consecutive month, Western Carolina junior Matt Cook (Murphy, N.C.) was named the Southern Conference Men's Golfer of the Month after setting two Catamount records en route to winning his only two events played in October.

After winning both events he entered, Cook climbed to become the top-rated men's golfer in the NCAA Division I, according to Golfstat.com. First, he shot a school-record 132 over 36 holes, thanks to rounds of 65 and 67, to win the Liberty/Frank Landrey Invitational. His play at Liberty additionally led Western to a team title as the Catamounts carded a school-record score of 571 over two rounds. Fifteen days later, he shot a WCU 54-hole, school-record 206, thanks to rounds of 68-70-68. For the two events in the month, he was 22 strokes under par over five rounds.

For the season, Cook has a stroke average of 69.33 over 12 rounds. He has only shot over par once in those 12 rounds, carding a one-over 73 in his first 18 holes of the fall season. After that, he was 33 strokes under par over his last 11 rounds.

The Catamounts have completed their fall portion of the schedule and will return to action Feb. 19-20, playing in the Presbyterian Intercollegiate.
