NORMAN, Okla. – For the third time in his career, Oklahoma State's Austin Eckroat has been named an All-American with the announcement of the NCAA Division I PING All-America Teams on Thursday by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
A junior from Edmond, Okla., Eckroat was one of 11 players named a second-team pick. With his selection, he brings the program's total number of All-America selections to 186 and is OSU's 26th three-time selection.
As a freshman, Eckroat received honorable mention All-America status as a member of the Cowboys' national championship squad before earning third-team status a year ago.
This past season, Eckroat competed in seven stroke-play events for the Cowboys, finishing inside the top 20 six times. In addition to a sixth-place showing at the East Lake Cup, he posted a runner-up showing at The Prestige after closing with a final round of 64.
Eckroat closed with a 65 at The Carmel Cup to tie for 13th place and used a second-round 67 to tie for 17th place at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational. He posted consecutive 69s to open the Cabo Collegiate in the squad's final event of the season, tying for 14th place.
Eckroat finished the year ranked 21st in the Golfstat rankings and No. 19 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings.
