Grant Forrest, the 2010 Scottish boys golf champion from North Berwick and now a student at San Diego University, has been named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year by the league's eight coaches.
He finished joint fourth in the recent West Coast Conference championship with a five-under-par total of 211.
Forrest, pictured by Andy Forman, finished second in the San Diego University team scoring averages with 72.25 over 12 tournaments.
The Scot was also named to the All-West Coast Conference team by the coaches.
Head coach Cory Scoggin said:
 "After I watched Grant play in his first two events this year I knew he would have a great chance to win this award. He had a great fall (autumn) with three top-10s. His 66 in the final round at Edgewood,  Nevada, where he beat the field by four shots was one of the most impressive rounds I have seen as a coach.
"His spring started off slow but he has really started swinging it well lately and was right in the mix coming down the stretch this week at the WCC championship.. Grant has a bright future as a Torero and I look forward to watching his game develop over the next few years."
San Diego's No 1 player, Alex Ching, voted the WCC Player of the Year, completes his fourth and final term in a few weeks. Forrest is expected to take over as the team leader in the 2012-2013 college season.
