June 18, 2014

NORMAN, Okla. – Clayton State's Fredrik Lindblom was named today as a Division II PING All-American by the Golf Coaches Association of America.  Lindblom is one of six Peach Belt Conference men's golfers selected to the All-America teams.  Lindblom was a Second Team selection, along with Columbus State's Robert Mize.

"I am very proud of Freddy," said Laker coach Steve Runge.  "He worked extremely hard to elevate his game to reach this level. As his game improved, his confidence grew and he began to win."  

Lindblom led the Lakers this season to a Top 5 finish in the PBC and to the program's first appearance in the NCAA D-II region championships since 2009. The senior was named to the All-PBC squad and was the leagues's Player of the Year.  A senior from Varmdo, Sweden, he won two events on the season and turned in six Top 10's in his 11 events.  He finished the season sixth in the PBC with a 72.74 stroke average.

He becomes the Lakers' fifth golfer to receive All-America honors and the first since 2009 when Will Wilcox earned First Team honors and Wade Binfield earned Honorable Mention honors.
