A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Saari finished his collegiate career with a stellar senior season, leading the Wildcats with a 73.71 strokes-per-round average in 23 rounds of play. He recorded four top-ten finishes, including taking home Individual Medalist honors at the Davidson College Invitational.
