July 30, 2021

NORMAN, Oklahoma—Five Austin Peay State University men's golf student-athletes are among the 2020-21 Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars list, which was released Friday.

Michael Busse and Austin Lancaster both made their second appearance on the GCAA All-American Scholar list, after both were named to the 2018-19 squad. This season, the duo were joined by Chase Korte, Jordan Rodriguez and Garrett Whitfield, each of whom made their first appearance on the list.

Lancaster earned his first All-Ohio Valley Conference honor in his final season as a Gov. All told, the quintet who earned All-America Scholar honors accounted for all four top-10 individual finishes by a Gov this season, as well as 63 of Austin Peay's 84 countable rounds during the season.

"I think this is a reflection of our guys doing their best in everything they do," said head coach Robbie Wilson. "We want to win both on and off the course. Katie Ethridge and her staff do a great job putting us in a position to succeed and we are very appreciative of all they do."
