2022 PLAYER AWARDS

Alex Stamey

Senior Men’s Player of the Year

Nearly every time Alex Stamey teed it up in an AGA tournament, he won. The 2022 Senior Division Player of the Year played in six tournaments and won five of them. On paper, his year was almost perfect, but he needed to overcome a few obstacles to get the job done. After an early-season win at the San Tan Amateur, he battled injuries and a mid-year slump, which he broke out of with a change in his swing.

The swing modification propelled him to a stretch of wins in the Senior Division that included the Divisional Match Play Tournament, Arizona Four-Ball, Northern Amateur and the Players Cup Championship. In the only tournament he played and did not win – the AGA Championship – he still shot well enough to make the cut in one of the year’s deepest and most competitive fields.

“After going through a swing change, I started playing very well in July and won the last four tournaments of the year to achieve Senior Player of the Year,” said Stamey. “This is my first award of this kind and earning the Arizona Senior Player of the Year is certainly one of the highest achievements in my amateur golf career.”
