Golfweek Names Burnett to All-America 2nd Team

Golfweek has named University of North Carolina sophomore Ryan Burnett a second-team All-America and junior Ryan Gerard an honorable mention selection, the magazine announced Tuesday.

Burnett (Lafayette, Calif.) is one of five freshmen and sophomores named to one of Golfweek's top two All-America squads. He led UNC in stroke average in 2019-20 (70.21 in eight events) and had one win, two seconds and a third-place finish.

Burnett's second-team All-America honor is the highest earned by a Tar Heel since Kevin O'Connell was a first-team All-America in 2008. He is one of four Atlantic Coast Conference golfers named to either the first or second team.
