The Golf Coaches Association of America on Wednesday announced its NCAA Division III PING All-American teams, and Carnegie Mellon junior Jason Li, a Sewickley Academy graduate, picked up first-team honors for the second year in a row.
Last season, Li became the first CMU golfer to be tabbed first-team All-American.
He finished this season with a team-best per-round average of 70.9 through 14 rounds and shot even-par or lower 10 times. Li twice carded a school-record round of 66.
Li helped the Tartans ascend to the highest final ranking in program history: fourth nationally in the final poll released earlier this month.
Carnegie Mellon capped its shortened season with a first-place finish out of 18 teams at the Savannah Invitational on March 9-10 at The Club at Savannah Harbor Golf Course.
Li and CMU junior Jason Folker tied for the lowest individual 54-hole total of 204 as they tied for second out of 90 golfers in the individual standings.
Folker (honorable mention) and Tartans freshman Raymond Li (third team) also were All-American selections.
