For the second straight year, Tennessee men’s golfers Spencer Cross and Bryce Lewis both earned PING All-Region honors, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced Sunday.
Cross and Lewis were all named All-Southeast Region, marking the third straight year in which Tennessee has landed multiple golfers on the all-region team. Earlier this month, Cross and Lewis were also each named All-SEC—with Cross earning first-team honors and Lewis being a second team selection.
In his final season as a Vol, Cross was the most consistent force in Tennessee’s lineup. Cross concluded the 2021-22 season with a 69.33 stroke average—the best single-season stroke average in program history. The Sevierville native also finished his Tennessee career with a 71.96 stroke average—currently the third-best career stroke average in program history.
Additionally, Cross’ 22 rounds of par or better this season were the second-most in program history.
Cross concluded the regular season with his first career collegiate individual title at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial in Charlottesville, Virginia, and followed it up with a tied-for-fifth-place finish in the stroke play portion of the SEC Championships. He was Tennessee’s highest finisher in its final six tournaments.
Overall on the season, Cross recorded eight top-20 finishes—including five top-10 finishes.
Competing as a full-time member of Tennessee’s lineup for the second straight season, Lewis finished the season second on the team with a 70.97 stroke average—the third-best single-season mark in program history.
Lewis recorded three top-10 finishes this season and finished inside the top 25 during six of Tennessee’s eight spring tournaments. Lewis was also second on the team in counting rounds (27.5) and rounds of par or better (18).
