Men's golfer selected to the NCAA Division 1 PING All-American Team
NORMAN, Okla. – University of Memphis golfer Isaiah Jackson, a senior from Golden, Miss., was selected to the NCAA Division 1 PING All-America Team Thursday.
Jackson's selection gave the UofM its first All-America selection since Lars van Meijel in 2016.
Jackson was one of 30 golfers chosen honorable mention. He also was one of only three American Athletic Conference golfers selected to either the first-, second- or third teams or honorable mention. SMU placed two golfers – Noah Goodwin and Mac Meissner – on the second team.
The All-America recognition followed Jackson being named to the 2020 PING All-Region Southeast team earlier this month.
During the season, his second at the UofM, Jackson posted a school-record setting stroke average (70.0) and had seven Top 20 finishes in as many events.
"We are so proud of Isaiah for being named to the PING All-America Team by the GCAA," said Memphis coach Blake Smart. "His development since his arrival to the University of Memphis has been extraordinary and we are excited about his future."
Jackson had six rounds in the 60s last season, including a career-low 65 at the Intercollegiate at Innisbrook. He was runnerup at Innisbrook, finishing at 7-under 206.
At the Kiawah Classic he posted a 6-under 210 to finished in a tie for fourth and at the David Toms Intercollegiate he ended at 10-under 206 for a tie for seventh.
