NORMAN, Okla. – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns golfers Ragnar Gardarsson and Thomas Strandemo were named 2017 Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars, the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced on Thursday.
Â
"I would like to thank Thomas and Ragnar for the way they have represented our program and University," head coach Theo Sliman said. "This award is significant and a testament to the hard work and sacrifice these two young men gave during their time as student-athletes. Their success in the classroom as well as on the golf course continues to shape the strong culture set before them and for the players returning."
Â
To be eligible for Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team's competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. Recipients must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Â
Both Gardarsson and Strandemo earned the honor for the second time in their career with Strandemo receiving the distinction in 2015 while Gardarsson was named to the list in 2016.
Â
Gardarsson notched a 74.67 scoring average in 30 rounds posting seven rounds of par or better as a senior. Strandemo carded a 75.43 scoring average in 21 rounds this past year after missing the 2015-16 season due to injury.
