Garrett Barber’s dominance on the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s All-Louisiana team continued in 2022.
Barber was named the LSWA’s Player of the Year for the third straight year, leading a parade for LSU which also included Coach of the Year, Chuck Winstead, and Freshman of the Year, Cohen Trolio. The Tigers were also represented on the first team by Michael Sanders and second team by Nicholas Arcement and Drew Doyle.
The LSWA selected five players for its first and second teams based on voting from nominations submitted by the school media relations offices in the state that play the sport. In the voting, schools could not vote for players from their respective schools.
Barber enjoyed his most successful season yet. In 33 rounds, he compiled a career-low 71.15 stroke average with 21 rounds at or below par and a team-best 122 birdies. He topped the Tigers with four top five finishes and helped the Tigers to two team championships.
Barber was also recently selected to the 2022 PING Southeast All-Region Team.
Trolio maintained a 71.30 stroke average ranked and his 115 birdies were only second to Barber on LSU’s team. He was also chosen to the PING Southeast All-Region team and the SEC’s All-Freshman team.
Sanders had four finishes in the top 10, three of which were 5th place or higher, and led the Tigers with seven eagles on the year.
Winstead guided LSU to a pair of tournament titles and the semifinals of the SEC Championships.
