NORMAN, Okla. -- UC Davis sophomore Jacob Westberg was named to the Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars list by the Golf Coaches Association of America. The recognition marks the second-straight year that Westberg has earned the prestigious honor.
 
Westberg is one of 440 Division I student-athletes across the country honored by the organization. To be eligible for the award, an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior both academically and athletically in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their Associate's Degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA.
 
In addition, they must participate in 50 percent of their team's competitive rounds, have a stroke average under 76.0 in NCAA Division I, under 78.0 in NCAA Division II, under 79.0 in NCAA Division III, under 78.0 in NAIA, and under 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
 
The Sacramento, Calif., native earns the award for the second straight year after becoming the first Aggie to be named a GCAA All-American Scholar since Ryan Han won the second of back-to-back awards in 2019. Westberg is the seventh UC Davis student-athlete to be honored since 1998, joining Jeff Hauer (1998), Chris Kilkenny (2003), Louie Bishop (2006-07), Josh Granger (2012, 2014), Brandon Baumgarten (2017-18), and Han (2018-19).

On the course, Westberg was tabbed to the All-Big West second team for the second straight season. The 2021 Big West Conference Tri-Freshman of the Year finished t-12th at the 2022 Big West Conference Championship. His best round of the season came at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational, where he carded a 4-under 212 to finish t-8th overall. 

Outside of collegiate competition, Westberg recently qualified for the 122^nd U.S. Amateur that will be held at The Ridgewood and Arcola Country Clubs in Paramus, N.J., on Aug. 15-21.
