GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman sophomore Will Morlan has been named to the Division I PING East All-Region Team, as announced today by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).

A native of Alpharetta, Ga., Morlan is just the second Paladin to be named to the all-region team and the first since Keller Harper in 2021.  An All-Southern Conference selection, he led the Paladins and ranked second in the league this season with a 70.06 stroke average over 36 rounds, the lowest season stroke average in the history of the Furman program.  

"Will had one of the best seasons in our program's history, and this honor is another great testament to the year he had," said Furman head coach Matt Davidson.  "He led the way for us all year long and played such a major part in all of our team successes, as well as his three individual wins and program record single season stroke average.  With Will, it's all so well-deserved too, as he works very hard on his game and is a fantastic teammate and leader.  I can't wait for the next two years and to continue to watch him grow and compete!"

Morlan became the first Paladin to win three individual titles in a season since Brad Faxon accomplished the feat in 1983.  In September, he tied for the individual championship at the Old Town Collegiate with a three-round score of 10-under after shooting a career-best 63 in the second round, then he tied for individual medalist honors at the Furman Intercollegiate at 9-under in October.  Morlan shot 18-under par to win the Hootie at Bulls Bay in March, setting both a Furman and tournament 54-hole record.  

In 12 events this season, Morlan finished among the top five in five tournaments and among the top 20 in all but three events.  Besides his three victories, he finished third at both the Gopher Invitational and the SoCon Championship.
