R&A PRESENTS McCORMACK MEDAL

Colt Knost was presented with the Mark H McCormack Medal during a ceremony at his home club, Royal Oaks Country Club, Dallas, Texas.
Knost received the medal from Todd McCormack, son of the late Mark McCormack, founder of the International Management Group (IMG), and Mike Tate, Director of The R&A.
Commenting on the award, Colt Knost said:
“I am delighted to be the first winner of this award, and to receive it at my home club is something special. It is the perfect way to sign off my amateur career”.
Todd McCormack, presenting the medal on behalf of the McCormack family, said:
“Colt is worthy winner of this, the first Mark H McCormack medal awarded by The R&A, and I am sure he will go on to have a long and successful career in the game that my father lived to promote.”
Colt Knost was ranked No 1 in The R&A’s World Amateur Golf Ranking at the end of Week 38, making him the winner of the award for the 2007 season.
The Mark H McCormack Medal was introduced by The R&A earlier this year to recognise the leading player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. The medal will be awarded annually and form a closing highlight to the world amateur golf season.
