RALEIGH, N.C. Fresh off winning the 2009 NCAA National Championship last week, sophomore Matt Hill has been named a Division I PING All-America first team selection. Hill has now earned All-America status in each of his first two seasons with the Wolfpack, and becomes the seventh NC State golfer to earn the distinction at least twice in his career. A total of 19 golfers have earned All-American honors 30 times at NC State.
According to Golfweek Magazine, Hill is the second player in NCAA history - Tiger Woods for Stanford in 1996 was the other - to win his conference tournament, an NCAA regional and the NCAA Championship tournament en route to the national title since the NCAA started the regional play format.
Hill won eight college tournaments during the 2008-09 school year the previous ACC record was five in one season. Although there is no official NCAA record for most wins in a season, it is believed that Hill has now established the new mark.
Hill completed a remarkable individual season that according to many media outlets will likely catapult him to No. 1 in the world amateur golf rankings when they are updated this week.
After officially earning medalist honors at the NCAA Championship last Friday, Hill participated in a teleconference with 26 media members from both the U.S. and his native Canada. Here is a sampling of some of the articles written about Hill over the weekend.
