Charlotte's Corey Nagy is now being recognized for more than his golf game.
The 49ers’ senior is one of six players nominated for the prestigious Byron Nelson Award, given annually to a graduating college golfer for his achievements on the course, in the classroom and for the character and integrity they’ve shown.
Nagy is nominated along with Seth Fair of Indianapolis, Brendan Gielow of Wake Forest, Adam Long of Duke, Jack Newman of Michigan State and Tom Whitney of Air Force. The award will be presented May 28 in Dallas.
For Nagy, it’s another impressive honor in a special career. He has led the 49ers to four straight Atlantic-10 team championships and four straight NCAA tournament appearances. In the process, Nagy has won the A-10 individual title twice, finished second once and third another time. He is also on pace to set the school’s single-season scoring average this year.

I feel sorry for this dude’s future wife. To have to be called Mrs. Nagy. It could give her a complex. ;)[/quote] Nah. His name isn’t pronounced like “here comes that naggy old shrew”. He may be on the PGA tour if he keeps working.
