BOCA RATON, Fla. –
Sully Zagerman of the Florida Atlantic University men's golf team has been named a Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-American Scholar. The honor is bestowed to men's golfers who are juniors or seniors academically, have participated in 50 percent of the team's competitions, have a stroke average of 76.0 or below and has maintained a minimum career grade point average of 3.2.
Zagerman exemplified the term student-athlete all season long. He was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team previously this season and received the Male Community Service award at the annual Owlspy's for completing the most community service hours of any male athlete on FAU's campus.
The men's golf team was named a GCAA All-Academic Team earlier this week.
On the course, the Windermere, Florida native was the top finisher for the Owls most of the season. He took a full two strokes off his average score for an average of 72.50 for the year. That season score is the second best in FAU history, behind Steve LeBrun who is currently playing professionally on the Web.com Tour.
He shot two of the program's top-10 54-hole scores this season with a 205 (tied for third) at the FAU Spring Championship and 207 (tied for eighth) at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate. He'll go into his senior season with the fourth best career scoring average at FAU, which sits at 74.41.
