NORMAN, Okla. - Georgia Southern's
Steven Fisk has been selected one of 24 honorees to the 2019 All-Nicklaus Team, presented by Barbasol.
Selections were made by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) as players from Divisions I, II, III, NAIA and NJCAA were recognized for their outstanding play during the 2018-19 collegiate season.
The All-Nicklaus Team was created in 2008, and is not only named for history's greatest player but also a long-time supporter of collegiate and amateur golf. Jack Nicklaus, a Big Ten and NCAA Champion at The Ohio State University, helped inspire and create the Jack Nicklaus Award in 1988 and it is now presented to the National Player of the year in NCAA Divisions I, II and III, as well as NAIA and NJCAA. Award recipients have combined for over 200 victories worldwide and claimed 23 major championships.
A first-team PING and Golfweek All-America selections, Fisk 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.
