IRVING, Texas – Three members of the Oklahoma State men's golf team were honored with the announcement of the Big 12's all-conference awards today.
Junior Austin Eckroat, sophomore Eugenio Chacarra and freshman Bo Jin were all named first-team all-league selections, while Chacarra was also tabbed as the league's newcomer of the year.
A transfer from Wake Forest, Chacarra's distinction adds to an impressive first season in Stillwater that saw him earn first-team All-America honors and finish the year ranked third by Golfstat and No. 9 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Ranking. The Madrid, Spain, native recorded a pair of runner-up finishes and was third on three occasions.
Additionally, Chacarra becomes the eighth Cowboy to be named the league's top newcomer. He joins Charles Howell, Pablo Martin, Jonathan Moore, Rickie Fowler, Morgan Hoffmann, Zach Bauchou and Matthew Wolff as players to be named the league's top newcomer.
Named to the all-conference team for the second time in his career, Eckroat was also named an all-region pick this year as well. The Edmond, Okla., native had one runner-up showing this past season and finished in the top five on three other occasions.
Jin capped his freshman campaign with three consecutive runner-up finishes, placing second at the Big 12 Championship, NCAA Stillwater Regional and the NCAA Championship en route to his recognition. The Beijing, China native was named an all-region selection as well as a member of the GCAA's All-Freshman Team.
Chacarra and Jin will represent the International side this week at the Palmer Cup at Rich Harvest Farms outside of Chicago, while Eckroat is making his professional debut this week at the Korn Ferry Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am.
