Georgia Tech, the 2011 Atlantic Coast Conference men’s golf champion, led the way by placing four players, including Kyle Scott of South Africa, on the 2011 All-ACC men’s golf team, and head coach Bruce Heppler was named Coach of the Year in the conference as selected by a vote of the league’s head coaches.

Led by automatic member Paul Haley, the individual medalist at the ACC Championship, Georgia Tech is represented on the All-ACC team by James White, John-Tyler Griffin and Kyle Scott. Griffin and White made their second consecutive appearance on the team, while Scott and Haley are first-time honorees. This marks the sixth year that a team has placed four individuals on the All-ACC team. Georgia Tech placed four in 2005, Clemson in 2000 and 2003 and Wake Forest in 1975 and 1980.

All four Tech players on the all-conference team are ranked among the nation’s top 55 in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index – Griffin (9), Scott (12), White (17) and Haley (54). Griffin, Scott and White are the top three ACC players in the nation in that ranking.

Scott, who is a senior at Georgia Tech, also made it through the first round qualifying for the 2011 US Amateur when he shot 69 at Dunwoody Country Club on the 9 May. There were 150 players playing for 11 places.
