Hedges Believed To Be First Two-Time All-American; First Time Since 2007 Multiple Crusaders Named All-Americans In Same Year

Belmont Abbey senior golfers Adam Hedges and John Frisby were both named to the Ping All-America teams, as Hedges earned a spot on the second team, while Frisby garnered an honorable mention honor. The teams were selected by the Golf Coaches Association of America. Both men graduated from Belmont Abbey with honors last month.

Hedges is believed to be the first two-time All-American in school history, and it is the first time since 2007 (Joe Campbell and Connor Tomlinson) that multiple Crusaders were named All-Americans in the same season.

Hedges' honor caps off a highly decorated career. The four year standout from Bromely, England was named the Conference Carolinas Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013, and was a first-team All-American and academic All-American in 2012. On the course, he led the nation in scoring average for four weeks and qualified for the NCAA Regionals as an individual.

In 2013, Hedges won three tournaments as he was the number ranked number one in the region in stroke play and was named the Conference Carolinas Men’s Golf Player of Year. In addition, he qualified for the NCAA National Championships as an individual, finishing in a tie for 31st. Off the course, Hedges, a Sport Management major, made the Dean’s List, earning his selection on the Conference Carolinas academic all-conference team. He was also the Conference Carolinas Scholar Athlete of the Year for men's golf.

Frisby, a first team all-conference selection and an honors graduate from Belmont Abbey College, from Lebanon, Indiana, was second behind Hedges in scoring average and was ranked twelfth nationally. He was a finalist for the Conference Carolinas Murphy Osborne Award, which is awarded to a senior student-athlete with a minimum GPA of 3.25 at the time of nomination. It is the first All-America honor in his career.
