Golfer Sabbatini honoredfor month of October

Arizona senior golfer Rory Sabbatini was named the Rolex College Golfer of the Month for October as determined by members of the College Golf Foundations' Golfer of the Month Committee.

Sabbatini is currently the nation's No. 3 golfer and won the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate on Oct. 19 after shooting a 3-under-par 210 while leading the Wildcats to a second-place finish.

At the Taylor Made Red River Classic, he tied for third with an even-par 216 while leading the Wildcats to their second consecutive tournament win in a row. In four tournaments this fall Sabbatini has finished in the top-10 in each one.

Arizona will be in action this weekend at the Golf World Invitational in Hilton Head, S.C. Both the men and women will be competing in the 54-hole tournament.

The women will play at the Arthur Hills at Palmetto Hall Golf Course while the men play at Palmetto Dunes. Last year both the men and women finished third in the tournament.

The Wildcat women are currently ranked No. 2 in the nation while the men are No. 3.

The men also have three golfers, Sabbatini (3rd), Andy Barnes (4th), and Derek Gillespie (5th), ranked in the top 10, two more than any other school.

After this tournament, the Wildcats are off almost three months before the start of the spring season. The first tournament is the Ping Arizona Intercollegiate to be held Feb. 3-4 at the Raven Golf Course in Tucson.
