SAN DIEGO - San Diego State's Lars Johansson has been selected to compete in the 27th Annual Savane College All-American Golf Classic, the tournament's committee announced.
The two-day, 54-hole event, which is hosted annually by the Wells Fargo Sun Bowl Association, will be played Nov. 19-20 at the El Paso Country Club and features 26 of the nation's top golfers.
"Being selected to play in this tournament says a lot about Lars and the kind of season he put together last year," said SDSU golf coach Dale Walker. "It's nice to see that he's being recognized as one of the nation's top collegiate golfers."
Johansson, the 2000-01 Mountain West Conference golfer of the year, recorded top-10 finishes in seven of 12 events last season, including tournament victories at both the Western Intercollegiate and the BYU Cougar Classic.
The junior from Karlskrona, Sweden, also led the conference with a 72.4 stroke average.
