ORLANDO – UCF men's golfer Clement Charmasson was named a Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar athlete by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Wednesday.
To be eligible for the award, a golfer must have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I play and must maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.20.
It was a record setting year for the award as 614 student-athletes earned the title of All-America Scholar, the most since the award's inception in 1982. Of the 614 honorees, 376 players were Division I selections, 99 in Division II, 108 in Division III, 18 from NAIA, and 12 from NJCAA. 2020 marks the first year in which Sophomores were eligible for the award.
A second announcement of Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars that include the second wave of nominations as well as those schools on the quarter system will be announced sometime next month.
The award comes on the heels of an outstanding academic year for UCF Men's Golf. In the fall, the Knights posted a 3.43 cumulative GPA, the highest among all UCF men's programs, and they were more recently part of a larger, athletics-wide effort of reaching 25 consecutive semesters with a 3.0 or higher GPA.
