NORMAN, Okla. – Seniors Scott Lambert and Jordan Walor were among 52 NCAA Division II men's golfers named to the Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar list for the 2011-12 campaign, it was announced recently.
To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 70 percent of his team's competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships, have a stroke average less than 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 77.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Lambert, a native of Newcastle, England, excelled both on and off the course this season, having earned all-league nods for the second-straight year, while also maintaining a 3.41 cumulative grade point average in business administration. The senior currently ranked eighth in the PBC and third on the team with a 73.1 stroke average and posted a trio of top-10 finishes in 2011-12, including second place honors at the Richard Rendleman Invitational in early March.
The 2012 Peach Belt Conference Golfer of the Year, Walor put the lid on his collegiate career on May 17 by finishing in a tie for 14th on the individual leaderboard at the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championships at the Cardinal Club in Simpsonville. He concluded the campaign with a school record and PBC-leading 71.38 stroke average – the third lowest average in the PBC and the best stroke average since Clayton State's Will Wilcox posted a PBC record 71.06 stroke average during the 2008-09 season.
