4/17/2020 11:33:00 AM | Men's Golf
Davidson's Alex Ross has been selected a Division I PING All-Region honoree as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Thursday afternoon.
Players across six regions – Northeast, East, Southeast, Midwest, Central, and West – earned all-region honors for 2020.
"I'm extremely proud of Alex and his successes this season," said head coach Tim Straub. "His dedication both in the classroom and on the golf course, demonstrated his commitment to being a stellar scholar athlete."
A native of Atlanta, Ga., Ross climbed inside the Top-40 of the Golfstat National Rankings during the fall after three consecutive Top-5 finishes.
In all, the 2018 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year recorded six Top-5 showings in seven events this year, while posting a 71.50 stroke average before the 2019-20 season was shortened due to COVID-19.
Last summer, Ross captured National headlines when he fired a 57 in the second round of the Dogwood Invitational at Druid Hills Golf Club. His 15-under par total tied the lowest competitive round ever recorded.
As a team, Davidson posted four Top-5 finishes, including a pair of runner-ups.
