Jacob Beckman, Evan Myers and Spencer Turtz were each recognized on the list for Wisconsin, which features a total of 49 student-athletes.
Last week, the Badgers teed off their season competing at the Visit Knoxville Collegiate. Jacob Beckman finished in a tie for 42nd place at 7-over par (69-74-74=217), while Evan Myers finished T59 (76-70-75=221) and Spencer Turtz was T80 (76-76-75=227).
