NORMAN, Okla. - A pair of Oklahoma State golfers were named second-team PING All-Americans today as junior Kevin Tway and sophomore Morgan Hoffmann each received the honor from the Golf Coaches Association of America.
The duo joins sophomore Peter Uihlein, who was named a first-team selection last week, as members of OSU's NCAA runner-up squad to achieve All-America status this season.
Tway was named a second-team pick after being tabbed as an honorable mention selection each of the past two seasons. The Edmond, Okla., native posted his third career victory this past spring with his win at the Puerto Rico Classic. Tway also had a runner-up showing at the Linger Longer Invitational and finished third at the Mauna Lani Invitational.
In 13 starts, Tway finished in the top 10 on six occasions and tallied a season stroke average of 72.35 while earning all-conference and all-region honors as well.
Hoffmann achieved second-team status after posting five top 10s in his 13 starts. The Wyckoff, N.J., native finished as the runner-up to Uihlein at the Ping/Golfweek Invitational last fall and also had third-place performances at the Gifford Collegiate and the NCAA Southeast Regional. Hoffmann completed his second season as a Cowboy with a 72.78 stroke average.
The honor marks the second-straight selection for Hoffmann, who was a first-team pick and the Phil Mickelson Award winner as the nation's top freshman a year ago.
On Monday, he carded back-to-back rounds of 67 during sectional qualifying to advance to the U.S. Open later on this month at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California.
