SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State men’s golfer Justin Hastings (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands) has been named a Golfweek All-America selection, the magazine announced Wednesday. Hastings is one of 20 golfers who were honorable-mention picks.
Hastings had arguably the best season in San Diego State history, racking up two victories and posting the second-best scoring average (70.33) in program history. Out of his 11 collegiate tournaments, he had two wins (by four strokes each), a runner-up finish and six top-10 efforts. Most recently, Hastings was named a PING All-West region selection after becoming the fourth Aztec to win a MW Championship, April 25-27, carding an 18-under-par 198. He also won the Lamkin Classic, March 10-11, in a tournament-record 16-under 200. Last month, Hastings was named the MW Golfer of the Year and made his third all-MW team.
Hastings also was named to the international team for the Arnold Palmer Cup, which is slated for this weekend (June 5-7) at Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, South Carolina. In January, Hastings won the Latin American Amateur Championship, earning an invitation to The Masters, where he posted the best score by an amateur, and exemptions into the U.S. Open (June 12-15) and The Open (July 17-20).
San Diego State won its fourth consecutive MW championship last month and a spot in the NCAA Tallahassee Regional, where the Aztecs tied for seventh out of 14 teams, two spots from advancing to the NCAA Championship.
