Norman, Okla. – Le Moyne College senior John Clare (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) has been named to the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) Division II PING All-America Second Team, as announced by the association on Monday afternoon.

Clare earns his second consecutive PING All-America accolades after being named honorable mention last year. Clare is one of eight student-athletes selected to the second team. Of the 43 total student-athletes named to the first, second or third teams or to receive honorable mention recognition, Clare is the only student-athlete from the East or Atlantic regions.

Clare, who received PING All-East Region honors for the second straight year in mid-May, registered a scoring average of 72.38 as a senior. Last week, he was named the Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year for the second straight year. His scoring average of 72.38 is the second-best in the program's history, trailing only his mark of 71.96 from last year. In 12 events this year, Clare earned medalist honors on four occasions, including the NCAA Atlantic/East Regional. His four victories are the most by a Dolphin in a season since Dan McCarthy '05 recorded five wins during the 2006-07 academic year. In addition to his four victories, Clare finished in the top-10 on 10 occasions and placed in the top-five in eight events. He fired a score of par or under in 13 of 26 rounds, including four rounds in the 60s. To capture medalist honors at the NCAA Regional, Clare birdied the 18th hole of the third round, which also clinched a berth in the NCAA Championships for the Dolphins. At the NCAA Championships, Clare closed out his career by tying for third place (the best NCAA Championships performance by a Dolphin in the program's history) at the 108-competitor event with a one-over par score of 211, the second-best score by a Dolphin in at least 14 years. He opened the Championships with a four-under par 66, which is the best round by a Dolphin over the last 14 seasons.
