FORT WORTH, Tex. -- The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced their All-American and All-Region Teams last night, and Andrew College's Rasmus Konradsson was named to the NJCAA Division II Ping All-Region Team. 

Established in 1958, the GCAA is the professional organization of golf coaches. The GCAA's mission is to support its member coaches by creating educational opportunities, providing resources, and promoting its members with the purpose of enhancing their overall performance as coaches, mentors, and teachers. The GCAA also recognizes the excellence and achievements of its members and their student-athletes in academic, athletic and civic endeavors.

 Konradsson, a freshman from Njurunda, Sweden, was the only golfer to play in every tournament, and the leading scorer in seven of the eight tournaments, was named a Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association All-Region selection, and an Third Team NJCAA All-Academic Honors in the sport of men's golf.
