GOLDEN GOPHER GOLFERS SCHAUMAN AND NASH NAMED PING ALL-AMERICA
6/4/2001 12:00:00 AM | Men's Golf
| Sophomore Wilhelm Schauman earned Third-Team All-American honors |
Schauman, a 2001 All-Big Ten Team selection, led the Golden Gophers in nearly every tournament on the year, winning two events and placing in the top five six times in the 13 tournaments of the season. Ranked in the top 50 for much of the season, Schauman stormed out of the gate in the fall, winning consecutive medalist titles at the PSINet Collegiate Invitational and Wolverine Invitational. On the year, he maintained a team-low 72.19 scoring average and was the leader of a young Golden Gopher squad.
A latecomer to the Golden Gopher golf team, Nash joined the Maroon and Gold in the second semester and quickly earned a spot in the starting lineup. The lone Minnesota golfer to advance to the final two rounds of the 2001 NCAA Championships, Nash finished in a tie for 13th place, firing a two-under 286. He was one of only four golfers in the national tournament to record four consecutive rounds of par or better, shooting scores of 71, 72, 72 and 71. Nash's top-15 placing is the best for a Minnesota golfer since Adam Dooley finished tied for 12th at the 1999 NCAA tournament. On the season, he maintained a 73.64 scoring average and placed in the top 20 in four of the eight tournaments in which he competed.
The Golf Coaches Association of America All-America Committee selected the individuals based upon play throughout the 2000-01 season, including the NCAA Championships. To be named to the PING All-America teams, a player must be named to one of the PING All-District teams or finish in the top 15 at the NCAA Championships.
