Oglethorpe's Loftsson Headlines Four from SCAC on PING All-America Team; DePauw's Harris Named to All-Freshmen Team

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Oglethorpe University's freshman Olafur Loftsson, who earned the Division III Arnold Palmer Award which is presented by Callaway for earning medalist honors at the NCAA Championships, leads four SCAC student-athletes named to the Division III PING All-America Team.

After posting rounds of 75-73 the first two days of the NCAA Championships, Loftsson, who was honored as a First Team All-America selection for his performance, fired a third round 68 to move to even par and a tie for third place. He carded five birdies in the final round for a three-under-par 69 to force a playoff with La Verne's Mitch Fedorka before claiming the title on the first playoff hole.

Joining Loftsson on the Division III PING All-America Team are two of his teammates - freshman Colin Chapman, who posted a tied for 11th place finish at the 2009 Championships and junior Scott Pugh who finished in a tie for 15th place. Both Chapman and Pugh were Second Team selections.

Sophomore Chris Morris of Centre College finished in 22nd place and was named to the Third Team.

Ronnie Harris of DePauw University, a first-year golfer from Avon, Ind., was one of six national honorees to the GCAA Division III All-Freshmen Team.
