EVANSTON, Ill. -- Senior Jonathan Bowers (Columbus, Ohio/Bishop Watterson) and junior Josh Dupont (Poway, Calif./Cathedral Catholic) have been named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
Bowers' honor is the second of his career, making him sixth Wildcat to earn two All-America Scholar nods and the first since current PGA TOUR professional Chris Wilson in 2006-07. Dupont's award is his first. This is the second-straight year and the fourth time since 2002 that multiple 'Cats have been honored.
