June 18, 2020 | Cowboy Golf
NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma State's men's golf team had a pair of players honored for their work in the classroom this week with Ferdinand Müller and Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen being honored in the first wave of Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars as announced by the GCAA.
The Cowboy duo was part of a record-setting year for the award as 614 student-athletes earned the title of All-America Scholar, the most since the awards inception in 1982. Of the 614 honorees, 376 players were Division I selections, 99 in Division II, 108 in Division III, 18 from NAIA, and 12 from NJCAA. 2020 marks the first year in which sophomores are eligible for the award.
Müller, a senior from Renningen, Germay, and Neergaard-Petersen, a sophomore from Nivå, Denmark, were both named first-team Academic All-Big 12 selections earlier this year.
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior academically in Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their Associate's Degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA. In addition, they must have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 78.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. For 2019-20, they must participate in 40% of the team's competitive rounds.
A second announcement of Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars that include the second wave of nominations as well as those schools on the quarter system will be announced sometime next month.
