The sophomore was placed on the second team after leading the Demon Deacons in stroke average and having two individual victories.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest men's golf sophomore Michael Brennan added Second Team All-America honors, as announced Monday by Golfweek.
This marks the second time in this year that the Lynchburg, Va. native has been named an All-American after also being named a Second Team All-American by the Golf Coaches Association of America earlier in June.
The sophomore was named to the Arnold Palmer Cup Team in April as he is set to represent Team USA this summer. Additionally, he was placed on both the Fred Haskins Award and Ben Hogan Award Watch Lists, given to the best player in collegiate golf.
In February, Brennan made his PGA Tour debut at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club after winning the Genesis Collegiate Showcase earlier in the week.
In the fall, he captured individual victories in back-to-back events at the Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational and the Colonial Collegiate, the second time in his career he had back-to-back tournament wins. His round of 62 (-8) in the opening round of the Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational is the second-lowest score in program history and tied the sixth lowest score relative to par in program history.
Brennan is one of just 12 Demon Deacons to have four or more tournament wins in his career.
