Golfweek Names Fountain 1st-Team All-America

Golfweek named University of North Carolina freshman Peter Fountain a first-team All-America, his second first-team All-America award this season. He previously was named to the PING/Golf Coaches Association of America first team.

The Raleigh native is Carolina's first men's golfer to earn first-team All-America honors since 2008.

Fountain was the medalist at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship, led the league in scoring average with a UNC record 69.68 and was first-team All-ACC and the ACC Freshman of the Year. He won two tournaments and finished second twice in nine starts and led the Tar Heels to a pair of team titles and two runner-up finishes.
