Haas, Blyth Named to DIII PING All-America Teams
The Golf Coaches Association of America has recognized St. John Fisher's
Corey Haas and
Chris Blyth as part of the Division III PING All-America Teams. Haas and Blyth become the 14th and 15th All-Americans for the men's golf program since 2006, led by the Jack Nicklaus award winning and national champion Scott Harris Jr. in 2008.
Haas appears on the Third Team for his first All-America honor in his collegiate career after leading his team with a 74.60 average through 10 tournaments (25.0 rounds) and a low round of 68 at Jekyll Island. Haas, an upcoming senior, was named the Empire 8 Player of the Year after finishing first at the Spring Championship. Throughout the season, Haas registered four top 5 finishes.
Blyth earns the national award for the third consecutive year; this time he's among 18 other Division III golfers on the Honorable Mention Team. As a sophomore and junior, Blyth earned a spot on the Third Team. Fisher's lone graduating senior led the team with a 21st-place finish at the NCAA Division III Championship in May. Following NCAAs, Blyth owned the team's second-best average score of 75.12 over 25 rounds in ten tournaments. He earned a first-place finish in the ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Championship in October, where he shot two even rounds for 142.
Both Haas and Blyth add to their postseason accolades, as they previously earned recognition on the PING Division III Mid-Atlantic All-Region Team as well as the Empire 8 All-Conference First Team. The duo helped the Fisher team finish 11th at NCAAs, marking the fourth straight year the Cardinals have posted a top-eleven finish.
