Laramie, Wyo. (July 25, 2022) -- The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) has announced its Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars for the 2021-22 season, and four members of the University of Wyoming men's golf team have earned the honor. The four Cowboys named All-America Scholars were:
Kirby Coe-Kirkham, Jimmy Dales, Jared Edeen and
Tyler Severin.
Out of 295 NCAA Division I men's golf programs, Wyoming's four individuals tied UW for the 11th most of any NCAA Division I team in the country. Only 10 teams had more individuals on this year's team than Wyoming. UNC Greensboro had seven individuals to lead the nation. Ohio State had six, and eight other Division I programs had five individuals named to the team. Wyoming also tied for the most individuals to receive the award of any Mountain West Conference school. Like Wyoming, Fresno State had four golfers named to the GCAA All-America Scholar team.
Two Cowboys earned the honor for the third time in their careers. Those two are Coe-Kirkham, a junior studying energy systems engineering, and Edeen, a junior studying management. Severin, a junior majoring in management, earned All-America Scholar honors for the second time. It was Dales first Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar honor. He is majoring in economics.
Since the 2017 season, Wyoming has had four or more individuals named Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars in five of those six seasons -- four individuals in 2017, '18 and '22 and a school record five individuals in 2020 and '21.
