ALBUQUERQUE, N.M— Three Lobos, Augustin Holé, Andre Garcia and Sean Carlon of the University of New Mexico golf team have been named by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) as Srixon/Cleveland All-American Scholars.
The trio are among just 266 Division I men’s collegiate golfers that were recognized on the prestigious list.
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 (in Division I) and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Last season as a junior, Holé finished first on the team for par-4 scoring and was also named to the Spring 2018 All-Mountain West Team for his outstanding efforts last season.
Garcia also earned a spot on the 2018 Spring All-Mountain West Team for his performance. Additionally, he was honored with the 2017-18 Mountain West Scholar-Athlete Award.
Carlon, who finished the season with a low round of 69 and eight finishes of par or better, was also honored with a spot on the Spring 2018 All-Mountain West Team.
As a team, the Lobos were named the Academic National Champions by the GCAA, finishing the Spring semester with an outstanding 3.89 grade point average. That mark was the highest GPA for a men’s athletic team in Lobo history.
