GOLF sensation Scott Vincent made history by being named a PING First-Team All-American as selected by a committee of the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Vincent is the first-ever Virginia Tech golfer (Hokie) to garner first team honours from the GCAA.
The Zimbabwean is one of two Atlantic Coast Conference golfers in the first team.
He is ranked eighth by Golfstat and 16th by Golfweek Sagarin.
Vincent finished tied for 35th at the 2014 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships last week in Hutchinson, Kansas, and finished third in the 2014 NCAA Auburn Regional on May 17.
He finished sixth at the 61st Annual Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Golf Championships in April.
During the 2013-14 season, Vincent became the first golfer in college history to win three individual tournament titles in a season.
He won the season-opener at the Golfweek Conference Challenge, the VCU Shootout and the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate.
Vincent had six top five finishes and nine top 10 finishes in 12 events this season. He was named the ACC Player of the Month in September and earned All-ACC and All-East Region honours earlier this month.
Vincent led the Hokies in scoring average this season at 70.51 and was second in Crunch Time average at 70.00.
