A pair
of Gator men’s golfers, juniors T.J. Vogel (Cooper City, Fla.) and Tyler
McCumber (Ponte Vedra, Fla.), have been named to the Division I PING All-American
Teams, the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced this week. With
the honors for Vogel and McCumber, the Gators have now had at least one player
earn All-America honors for the 14th-consecutive season. Additionally, UF has
had an All-American in 23 of its 25 seasons under head coach Buddy Alexander.
Vogel, a
second-team selection, had an impressive season for the Orange and Blue
recording a pair of victories and finishing in the top-10 on nine separate
occasions. Additionally, Vogel led the Gators in stroke average (71.3), rounds
counted (93 percent), birdies (132) and scoring differential (2.05).
McCumber,
who garnered honorable mention honors, is coming off an impressive tie for
second at the NCAA Championships. For the season, McCumber recorded seven
top-10 finishes and tallied a solid 72.8 stroke average.
The
Gators put together an impressive 2011-12 season which included three
tournament victories and seven top-3 finishes. The Gators will return a strong
lineup in 2012-13 with their entire roster expected to return with the
exception of seniors Michael Furci (Sayville, N.Y.) and Zach Lee
(Ponte Vedra, Fla.).
