OXFORD, Miss. – The American Junior Golf Association announced 2022 Rolex Junior All-America Teams and Rolex Junior Players of the Year on Thursday, with Ole Miss men's golf freshman Patton Samuels included on the list.
Samuels is a first-time honoree of the award. The Rolex Junior All-America Teams annually recognize the world's premier junior golfers.

These young men and women distinguished themselves through exceptional play in 145 national junior golf events, 128 of which were conducted by the AJGA. The teams were determined exclusively through the Rolex AJGA Rankings as of October 12.
