Georgia junior golfers Harris English and Russell Henley will compete next week in the Western Refining College All-America Classic.

The tournament, which is hosted by the Sun Bowl Association, is slated for Sunday through Tuesday at the par-71, 6,837-yard El Paso Country Club.

English and Henley were invited based on their designations as All-Americans for the 2008-09 season. Henley, who also participated in 2008, was a Second-Team All-American last season, while English was a Third-Team All-American.

Henley leads the Bulldogs with a 71.64 scoring average and English is second with an average of 72.45. Each captured medalist honors at one of Georgia’s fall tournaments.

The field for the Western Refining College All-America Classic includes 32 All-Americans from 2008-09, making it the largest field in the 35-year existence of the event.
