Character Award
Jason Millard, a former two-time All-American golfer from Middle Tennessee State and Web.com Tour player, enjoyed the thrill of a lifetime when he qualified for the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst. Five days later, he called a penalty on himself that he knew would get him disqualified from the US Open. “It’s heartbreaking, but what I was feeling in my heart wasn’t right.” He still does not know if he committed the violation of grounding his club in a bunker, but he could not find peace until he called the United States Golf Association to declare his wrong doing.
