Lewis, Surratt Named PING All-Southeast Region
May 30, 2023 | Men's Golf
Coming off of seasons that earned them all-conference distinction, Tennessee men's golfers Bryce Lewis and Caleb Surratt each added another postseason honor over the weekend—gaining PING All-Region honors from the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Â
Lewis and Surratt were all named All-Southeast Region, marking the fourth straight year in which Tennessee has landed multiple golfers on the all-region team. Earlier this month, Lewis and Surratt were also each named All-SEC—with Surratt earning first-team honors and SEC Freshman of the Year and Lewis being a second-team selection.
Â
During his first season on Rocky Top, Surratt was a consistent force in Tennessee's lineup. The true freshman posted a team-best stroke average of 69.58 over 33 rounds while carding a single-season program record 27 rounds of par or better.
Â
In total during his freshman season, Surratt recorded seven top-10 finishes and two individual titles—including his individual title at the SEC Championship where he posted a 14-under 196, which tied for the second-lowest 54-hole score in SEC Championship history.
Â
Lewis, who was named second-team All-SEC for the second straight season, placed inside the top-25 six times over the course of the season, including a second-place finish at the Mason Rudolph Championship in April and an individual title at the Purdue Fall Invitational in October.
Â
The Hendersonville native carded 14 rounds in the 60s and posted a 70.58 scoring average—the fourth-best single-season stroke average in program history.
