Georgia Golfers Earn All-SEC Recognition

April 27, 2009 | Men's Golf

ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia golfers Brian Harman, Hudson Swafford, Harris English and Russell Henley have been named First-Team All-Southeastern Conference, according to an announcement Monday by the league office.

Adam Mitchell earned Second-Team All-SEC honors, meaning all five members of the lineup picked up conference recognition. In addition, Rob Bennett was selected for the SEC Community Service Team.

"I am very proud of all these guys," Georgia coach Chris Haack said. "They have worked so hard and they represent the university well in everything they do from golf to academics to community service. This All-SEC recognition is well deserved by all of them."

Harman earned First-Team All-SEC honors for the third time in his career, while Swafford made the First Team for the second time. Mitchell was a First-Team selection and English and Henley were Second-Team picks a year ago.

Harman leads the Bulldogs with a scoring average of 72.33, followed by English and Henley each at 72.48, Swafford at 72.63 and Mitchell at 73.25. Bennett, who is redshirting this year and is not playing, is an active member of Georgias Student-Athlete Advisory Council, which coordinates and participates in various community service projects in the Athens area.

The No. 1-ranked Bulldogs have won five tournaments this season, including the SEC Championship. Georgia will learn its NCAA Regional assignment next Monday.
