NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt men’s golfers Will Gordon, Patrick Martin, and John Augenstein were named All-America by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) for their outstanding play on the course in 2018-19. Gordon was a first-team All-America recipient, while Martin and Augenstein were named third-team All-America.
Gordon becomes the program’s sixth first-team All-American selection after averaging 69.65 strokes per round, the second-lowest in program history, winning two individual championships (Tavistock Collegiate, Florida Gators Invitational), and posting seven top-five finishes. The GCAA All-America selection is the third of his career and the first first-team honor for the senior from Davidson, North Carolina. He was named a freshman and third-team All-America in 2016 and an honorable-mention selection in 2018.
Martin’s third-team selection marks his fourth in four years and he becomes only the second Commodore, joining Luke List (2004-07), to be honored as an All-American in each year of his career. Martin averaged 71.03 strokes per round in 2018-19 and posted three top-five finishes and six top-10 finishes. His third-team honor adds to a freshman and honorable-mention selection in 2016, a first-team honor in 2017, and an honorable-mention nod in 2018.
