BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Two members of the Tennessee Tech men's golf team were honored as members of the 2022-23 All-Ohio Valley Conference Men's Golf Team Sunday evening at the league's annual postseason banquet.
Sophomore Jackson Skeen and freshman Anders Larson were selected as members of the All-OVC Team, with Larson also picking up a spot on the OVC All-Newcomer Team. For Skeen, it marked his second appearance on the All-OVC Team in as many years, after earning a spot in 2021-22, as well as the league's OVC Freshman of the Year honors.
A native of Jonesborough, Tenn., Skeen led the OVC in scoring average during the regular season, pacing the Golden Eagles with a mark of 70.92 in 24 rounds. In eight events, the second-year Golden Eagle secured five top-five finishes and All-Tournament nods.
Skeen also won a tournament, earning medalist honors at the Georgia State Invitational. He was a four-time OVC Male Golfer of the Week, a Tech program record, and earned OVC Male Golfer of the Month accolades in September, a first for any Golden Eagle.
Larson ranked 15th in the league and second on the Tech squad in scoring average in his rookie campaign, registering a mark of 74.00 in seven events. He locked down one top-10 finish while boasting the program's low round of the season, a 6-under 65 at the Big Blue Intercollegiate.
