PINE MOUNTAIN, Ga. – All-American Jordan Walor was one of 16 student-athletes named to the Peach Belt Conference Men's Golf All-Conference Team announced Sunday evening at the PBC Men's Golf Banquet at Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga.
Walor, who took home PBC Freshman of the Year laurels last season, was one of eight PBC student-athletes to garner first team status. Georgia College's Francisco Bide was named the PBC Player of the Year while Armstrong Atlantic State's Jacob Tilton was named the PBC Freshman of the Year. Flagler coach Santiago Cavanagh was named the Coach of the Year.
