KU men’s golfers are top scholars

Kansas men’s golfers Connor Peck and Chase Hanna have been named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).

Hanna and Peck were two of 212 NCAA Division I men’s golfers honored by the GCAA.

Peck, a senior in 2015-16, is receiving the honor for the second-straight year. The Ankeny, Iowa, native played a major role in Kansas’ 2016 NCAA Regional appearance, the first for a KU team since 2007. Peck led KU with a 72.0 stroke average and completed 2015-16 with 10 top-20 finishes in the 13 tournaments in which he participated.

Hanna posted six top-20 finishes in 2015-16, his junior season. The Leawood native averaged 73.7 strokes per round and had 17 rounds of even par or under for the season.
