Fountain Named to All-Nicklaus Team

Peter Fountain, a Raleigh native and rising sophomore men's golfer at the University of North Carolina, was named to the 2021 All-Nicklaus team by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

The team, presented by True Spec Golf, is named for legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, whose son Jackie played for the Tar Heels from 1981-85. Fountain is the first Tar Heel named to the Nicklaus team, which began in 2008.

Fountain earned first-team All-America honors from the GCAA and Golfweek after leading the Atlantic Coast Conference and setting a UNC record with a stroke average of 69.
