Biwer, Holland Earn Prestigious Academic Honor
        BOULDER — Two members of the University of Colorado men's golf team were named Golf Coaches Association of America All-America Scholars, GCAA officials announced Wednesday.
Â
        Juniors-to-be Justin Biwer and Jack Holland were both recognized for their accomplishments on and off the course for the 2022-23 collegiate golf season. It is the first honor for both players.
Â
        To be eligible for GCAA All-America Scholar status an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior academically and athletically, participate in 50 percent of his team's competitive rounds, have a stroke average under 76.0 in Division I and maintain a minimum of at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average. Biwer is majoring in Business (Accounting and Finance) while Holland is studying Chemical Engineering.
Â
        Biwer played in all 14 tournaments and was second on the team in stroke average this past year with a 71.0 figure, with his career norm of 70.96 over two seasons for 74 rounds. Holland played in 13 events with a 73.27 mark, fifth on the Buffs, while owning a 74.23 career average for 21 tournaments.
Â
        The duo are two of 19 Buffaloes to be afforded the All-America Scholar honor since it was created in the late 1980s, with the group honored collectively a total of 32 times.Â
Â
        "Huge congratulations go out to Jack and Justin for earning Academic All-Scholars from the GCAA," said CU head coach Roy Edwards. "It is the highest honor a college golfer can receive both athletically and academically and those two embody everything it means to be true student-athletes. Jack and Justin are tremendous assets to the University of Colorado."Â
