For his efforts, the Rowayton, Conn. native was named the Southern Golf Association's National Amateur of the Month for May.

The Ping All-American topped Georgia Tech's Ollie Schniederjans in a playoff to win the NCAA individual championship before going 2-0 in Stanford's run to the semifinals of the team competition.

Last month, Wilson won the Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo by defeating teammate and World No. 1 amateur Patrick Rodgers for the title.

The national selection panel consists of notable golf journalists, officials and coaches. The coveted March-thru-October award, now in its 12th year, is one of many ways the SGA promotes and advances amateur golf, including its storied Southern Amateur, the 108th playing set for July at the exclusive Honors Course near Chattanooga.
