Fisk Named PING All-Region

The senior earns the honor for a second straight season.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Georgia Southern's Steven Fisk has been named PING All-Region by the Golf Coaches Association of America for the second straight season. The announcement came yesterday as the Eagles were warming up for the their second round of the NCAA Championships at The Blessings Golf Club.

Players across six regions - Northeast, East, Southeast, Midwest, Central and West - earned all-region honors for 2019. The GCAA will announce PING All-America honors Tuesday, May 28.

Fisk won six tournaments this season, including his second Sun Belt Championship, becoming the second player in league history to win the conference championship twice. The senior finished in the top-10 eight times and has placed in the top-25 in all 11 events he has played in. He tied for sixth at the NCAA Stanford Regional  to lead the Eagles to their first appearance in the NCAA Championship Finals since 2010.

Fisk passed Eagle great Jodie Mudd (1978-82) for the school record in career victories with nine, and 25 of his 34 rounds played this season have been par or better. He shot a course and tournament record 61 in the second round of the Sun Belt Championship, one shy of his own school record, and was named Sun Belt Golfer of the Week three times. The Sun Belt Golfer of the Year and first-team all-conference selection is one of 10 finalists for the Fred Haskins Award for the "Most Outstanding Collegiate Golfer of the Year" and was a semifinalist for the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year Award.

Fisk enters today's third round of the NCAA Championships tied for ninth, and the Eagles are six strokes behind the team cut line. The top-15 teams and nine individuals not on those teams after three rounds advance to a fourth round of stroke play Monday. GS tees off the first hole at 1:55 p.m. ET.
