WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Seniors Timmy Hildebrand and Jarle Volden have been named Srixon / Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced today.
To be eligible for Srixon / Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team's competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.20.
Hildebrand and Volden were big parts of Purdue's success the last season as Purdue won a pair of tournaments and reached NCAA Regionals for the fifth straight year.
Volden, a native of Oslo, Norway, owns a 3.27 GPA in finance while being among the counting five in each of the last three years. He posted the second-best average on the team (73.07) while earning his first career win this past spring, setting a new tournament record at the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate in April. He recorded a sensational 71.95 stroke average during the spring season.
Hildebrand, who hails from Westfield, Indiana, has a 3.52 GPA in mechanical engineering while recording the third-best stroke average on the team at 73.63. He had three top-10 finishes on the season and currently ranks ninth on the Purdue career stroke average chart (73.69). For his career, he has seven top-10 finishes, sitting just outside the Purdue rankings for most top-10 finishes in a career.
The duo will lead the Boilermakers into the 2018-19 season, which begins Sept. 9 and 10, at the Gopher Invitational in Independence, Minnesota.
