FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU's Adam Rubinson added another honor to his impressive college golf resume on Wednesday, as he was named Conference USA's Golfer of the Month. The senior capped a fine fall semester with an outstanding November.

During the month, Rubinson won an individual tournament title and led his TCU squad to a team title and a fourth-place showing in two other team tournaments. He began the month by firing a second-place eight-under 208 to lead the Horned Frogs to the Prestige title (Nov. 4-5) at PGA West in LaQuinta, Calif.

He then helped TCU to a fourth-place finish among the top 16 teams from the 2002 NCAA Championships at the Collegiate Match Play Championships (Nov. 8-10) in Myrtle Beach, S.C., before concluding the month by taking top honors at the Western Refining All-America Classic (Nov. 25-26) in El Paso, Texas. Rubinson finished first in a field of 24 All-Americans from the 2001-02 season after shooting a three-day total of 208, winning the event by five stokes. Past winners of the classic include Jerry Pate (1974), Davis Love III (1984), David Duval (1991), Notah Begay (1994) and Tiger Woods (1995).

The Fort Worth native is a two-time all-conference performer and is currently the nation's 19th-rated golfer according to the Golfweek ratings system. It was his second career monthly honor, as he was the September 2000 Golfer of the Month while the Horned Frogs competed in the Western Athletic Conference.

Rubinson is the second straight TCU golfer to receive the C-USA honor, as freshman Colby Beckstrom won the award in October. TCU is rated fourth nationally in the final fall Golfweek ranking.
