Created by the Haskins Commission, the Fred Haskins Award presented by Stifel is given to the "Most Outstanding Collegiate Golfer of the Year." Known as the "Heisman of Golf," the Haskins Award has been named in honor of Fred Haskins, who dedicated his career as Head Professional at the Country Club of Columbus in teaching junior golfers the art of competitive golf.

Carr finished in the top-8 in all four events he played in this fall and won the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate Oct. 12, his third career collegiate win, after shooting 68-69-66=203 (-13). His total of 203 is tied for the eighth-lowest 54-hole score in school history. He led the Eagles with a 68.50 scoring average and was named the Sun Belt Conference's Golfer of the Week Oct. 14.
