ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia golfers Trent Phillips, Maxwell Ford, and Connor Creasy have received postseason honors from the Southeastern Conference, according to an announcement Friday by the league office.
In voting among the conference coaches, Phillips was chosen First-Team All-SEC, Ford was picked for the All-Freshman Team, and Creasy was named to the Community Service Team.
Phillips, a senior from Inman, S.C., became the first player in school history to garner First-Team honors all four seasons. He also joined Harris English, Russell Henley, and Brendon Todd as the only Bulldogs to be named All-SEC four times. Phillips leads Georgia and ranks fifth in the SEC with a scoring average of 69.63. He has a win and six additional top-10s this season, giving him three victories and 24 top-10s (third in school history) for his career. Phillips is No. 5 in the PGA Tour University Velocity Global Ranking and No. 11 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He was a finalist for the Byron Nelson Award and is on the watch lists for the Ben Hogan Award and the Haskins Award.
Ford, a native of Peachtree Corners, Ga., owns a scoring average of 71.52 and has two top-10s and two more top-20s this season. He came in second in the Puerto Rico Classic, where he set career marks for finish, round (6-under 66), and tournament (16-under 200). His 16-under ranks third best in school history. Ford garnered SEC Freshman of the Week honors three times during the regular season. He represented the Bulldogs in the Patriot All-America, where the players carry a bag that includes the name and branch of service of a fallen or severely wounded soldier.
Creasy, a junior from Abingdon, Va., served on Georgia's Student-Athlete Advisory Council this year. He participated in community service projects for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, the United Way of Northeast Georgia, Extra Special People, and Special Olympics. Creasy appeared in the Williams Cup and the Southwestern Invitational in the lineup and in the Puerto Rico Classic and the Linger Longer Invitational as an individual. He matched his career lows with a 4-under 68 and a 7-under 209 in the Puerto Rico Classic.
The Bulldogs will return to action Monday through Wednesday in the NCAA Regional at Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas.
