University of North Carolina men's golfers Ryan Burnett and Luis Castro earned Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar honors for the 2019-20 academic year.
To be eligible for the award, students must be sophomores, juniors or seniors, have a stroke average under 76.0, maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.2 and play in 40 percent of the team's rounds.
Burnett and Castro, both sophomores, are among eight Tar Heels who earned a spot on the 2019-20 Atlantic Coast Conference Honor Roll. Both Burnett and Castro made the ACC Honor Roll for the second year in a row.
Others to earn a spot on the ACC Honor Roll are senior Austin Hitt, juniors Mason Elmore and Ryan Gerard and freshmen Austin Greaser, George McNeely and Kenan Poole.
Golfweek had previously named Burnett a second-team All-America and awarded Gerard honorable mention All-America honors for their play this past season.
