Men's Golf Duo Earn All-America Nods

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke men's golfers Adrien Pendaries and Evan Katz have earned PING All-America honors, as selected by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GGCA).
Pendaries and Katz, junior classmates for the Blue Devils, each earned a spot on the second team to mark the second consecutive year Duke has boasted multiple All-Americans in the same season. All-time, the Blue Devils have garnered 28 PING All-America honors, with eight coming under head coach Jamie Green. The All-America awards for Katz and Pendaries are each the first of their careers.
Duke was the only ACC program with multiple selections to the first, second or third teams, and one of just six programs nationally to do so, joining Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Pepperdine and SMU.
Pendaries spent multiple weeks as the top-ranked collegiate golfer nationally this past season, and would finish, along with Katz, in the top 15 of the Golfweek ratings. Katz paced the Blue Devils with his career best scoring average of 70.92 and was ranked No. 11, while Pendaries averaged 71.00 for the season and was ranked No. 12.
Entering their senior campaigns in 2020-21, Pendaries owns a three-year career average of 71.53, which stands second all-time at Duke. Katz's career average of 72.32 ranks No. 6.
The abbreviated 2019-20 season, which was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, saw the Blue Devils' final three regular-season tournaments canceled, along with the ACC Championship and potentially a berth in the NCAA Championship.
Duke was ranked No. 11 in the final GGCA Top 25 poll and is set to return to action this fall.
