ATLANTA – Georgia Tech’s David Dragoo, Taylor Hall and Cameron Tringale are among 96 Division I golfers named Cleveland Golf All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Dragoo, from Scottsdale, Ariz., Hall, from LaGrange, Ga., and Tringale, from Laguna Niguel, Calif., are all juniors at Tech. Dragoo has a cumulative 3.62 grade-point average while majoring in Economics, Hall has a 3.20 mark in Management, and Tringale is a 3.25 student in Management. They are the 10th, 11th and 12th Tech players since 1990 to be so honored.
It marks the second time three Yellow Jackets have been named (Mike Barbosa, Chan Song, Nicholas Thompson in 2005).
To be eligible for Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically and compete in at least two full years at the collegiate level, participate in 70-percent of his team’s competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships, have a stroke average under 76.0 and maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.

Hall posted a 73.54 average in 26 rounds with three top-20 finishes, including a fifth-place showing at the ACC Championship. Tringale, an all-ACC selection for the third time, averaged 72.22 strokes over 32 rounds and posted four top-10 finishes.
