Senior Duo Joins First-Teamer Collin Morikawa Announced Last Month
NORMAN, Okla. – Sebastian Crampton and
KK Limbhasut have been named honorable mention Division I PING All-Americans by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
"It's great to see Sebastian and KK recognized for their play this past season," Alex and Marie Shipman Director of Men's Golf
Walter Chun said. "They put a great deal of effort into their games to help our team accomplish what we did, and it's so rewarding to see their efforts recognized."
Limbhasut had previously earned second-team All-America recognition as a 2015-16 sophomore while Crampton picked up All-America honors for the first time in his career.
Crampton and Limbhasut joined

Morikawa was previously announced as a first-team Division I PING All-American last month to become the first Cal men's golfer to earn four All-America honors and be recognized as a first-team All-American three times in each of his final three seasons after being selected third-team as a true freshman in 2015-16.
