STATESBORO– Georgia Southern's
Steven Fisk has been named a college First-Team All-American by Golfweek.
One of 10 student-athletes to earn first-team honors, Fisk recently became the fourth Eagle and the first since Aron Price in 2005 to be named PING first-team All-America by the Golf Coaches Association of America. The senior finished second at the NCAA Championships at 5-under-par after shooting 68-68-71 in the last three rounds. It was the 13th top-5 finish in his stellar Georgia Southern career and his 25th career top-10.
Fisk, who was one of three finalists for the Haskins Award - the Heisman Trophy of College Golf - 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 nine times and placed in the top-25 in all 12 events he 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 27 of his 36 rounds played were 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 was also semifinalist for the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year Award.
