NORMAN, Okla. – Georgia Southern junior Steven Fisk is in third place in the Fall Arnold Cup Ranking for the 2018 event at Evian Resort Golf Club.

The top six golfers from the final ranking in the spring from both the United States and International men and women - 12 total golfers - will be among the 24 individuals selected to compete in the Arnold Palmer Cup July 6-8. The 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup will be the first using the expanded format of United States men's and women's collegiate golfers versus their counterparts from around the world.

Fisk, who is ranked third in the country by Golfstat and Golfweek, became the 13th player in college golf history to shoot 60, reaching the mark in the second round of the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational in October, and he narrowly missed a 16-footer for birdie on his final hole for 59. His 60 was a school and course record, and he followed that round with a 67 to shoot under par in every round this fall.

Fisk finished in the top-3 in his last three outings, two straight wins and a tie for third in Hawaii, and scored par or better on 103 of his last 108 holes. He posted a 67.58 scoring average, placed in the top-6 in all four fall tournaments and was named Sun Belt Golfer of the Week twice. 

Using Golfstat's NCAA Player Ranking as a base, the Arnold Palmer Cup Ranking awards bonus points for wins and high finishes and a penalty for poor finishes. The ranking also contains a strength of schedule component. 

The remaining six men's and women's spots for the United States will consist of five committee selections, including at least one non-Division I golfer, and a coaches pick. The balance of the International team will include the men's and women's winners of The R&A Scholars Tournament, four committee selections and a coaches pick.

Georgia Southern begins the spring season at the Gator Invitational Feb. 17-18, at Mark Bostick Golf Course in Gainesville, Fla.
