NORMAN, Okla. – Georgia Southern junior Steven Fisk moved up one spot into second place in the Spring 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.

Ranked third in the country by Golfstat and Golfweek, Fisk 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 tie for third.

Fisk, who has a 67.73 scoring average, opened the spring campaign with a tie for sixth at the SunTrust Gator Invitational last week and has finished in the top-10 in all five tournaments of the 2017-18 season. He was named to the Ben Hogan Award Watch List and the Haskins Award Watch List and has been 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.

The next ranking will be released March 8 with teams being announced March 15 during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.

Georgia Southern continues its spring season at the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Invitational March 5-6 at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, S.C. GS fans will have a chance to see Fisk and the Eagles at the 39th Schenkel Invitational March 16-18 at Forest Heights Country Club.
