DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson's Jack Lang has been selected a Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar, as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America Wednesday.

A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
A two-time all-conference performer, Lang led the Wildcats with a 73.93 stroke average, including 10 rounds of par of better, two Top-5 finishes and three Top-10s.
Lang, a Psychology major from Lexington, Mass., finished tied for fourth at the Firestone Invitational with a 54-hole total of 215 (-1). His second Top-5 showing of 2017-18 and sixth of his career came at the 2018 Seahawk Intercollegiate where his placed second out of 81 competitors.
