UW Golfer Earns National Scholar Honors
July 18, 2005 | Women's Golf
UW Golfer Lindsay McMillan was named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar Team for a third straight season. The junior in biology major owns a 3.8 cumulative grade point average while preparing for a career in medicine. The Calgary, Alberta, native is one 199 women's collegiate golfers from NCAA Divisions I to be recognized with this prestigious honor.
The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team is some of the most stringent of all college athletics. The minimum cumulative GPA is 3.50, and student-athletes must have competed in at least 66% of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year.
Wisconsin has had 13 golf scholar-athletes named to the team through the years. McMillan is the sixth player to earn the award in multiple years having also been named to the team as a freshman and sophomore. She is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree as well and one of 14 Big Ten golfers named to the national team.
McMillan competed in 32 rounds for the Badgers this past season averaging 78.8 strokes per round which led the team. She led in five of 12 events, and shot a career-low 72 at the Legends Shootout in Indiana last fall.
