Kent State freshman Pimnipa Panthong was named to the Women's Golf Coaches Association All-America Second Team Tuesday afternoon. Panthong becomes the first Kent State golfer to earn higher than Honorable Mention status on an All-America Team.
A native of Nakhon Sawan, Thailand, Panthong recently helped the Golden Flashes to a Top 5 finish at the NCAA Championships. Last month, she was named Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Year.
"We knew Pim was a special player coming into the fall, but we didn't know she'd hit the ground running the way that she did," Head Coach Greg Robertson said.
