Georgia golfer Brian Harman was among the 108 players named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars this week by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

Harman, a Savannah native who completed his eligibility in May, was honored for the second straight year. Georgia now has produced 10 student-athletes with 17 All-America Scholar certificates. Georgia has had at least one honoree for each of the past six years and has produced six student-athletes with 10 citations under Coach Chris Haack.

Harman led Georgia and was second in the Southeastern Conference with a scoring average of 71.94 in 2008-09. He recently won the prestigious Dogwood Invitational amateur event. Harman was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III At-Large Second Team and was selected for the SEC Academic Honor Roll with a 3.6 GPA in Finance. He was a Presidential Scholar and won the Howell Hollis Award as the Bulldog with the highest GPA.
