WEST POINT, N.Y. - Army golf star Scott Manley earned a pair of postseason honors in closing out his finest season with his selection to the All-New England first team and PING All-Regional squad.
Teeing off as the Black Knights No. 1 player, Manley led the team with a 75.9 stroke average this spring and 72.8 during the fall. Manley, who has not missed a tournament in 24 outings since coming to the Academy, won the Toski Invitational on Sept. 30. The sophomore finished the 36-hole tournament with a five-under-par 139. This spring, Manley took second place at the New England Championship. He finished one stroke off medallist honors carding a two-under-par 142.
The Dove Canyon, Calif., native is Army's first two-time NCAA All-District I selection. After leading Army to its first NCAA appearance in seven years, he was named a district all-star last season. Jimmy Lee is the only other Black Knight recognized for District I honors by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
