Nebraska's Rudy Sautron captured NCAA Division I PING All-Region honors for the second straight season from the Golf Coaches Association of America when the organization announced its annual award winners over the weekend.
Sautron, who became Nebraska's first first-team All-Big Ten men's golfer in 2026, closed his season with a school-record 70.27 stroke average over 41 rounds. He claimed 12 consecutive top-25 finishes to end the season, capped by his tie for 25th at the NCAA Marana Regional in Arizona (May 18-20).
The junior from Reunion Island, France, tied the school single-season record by sharing individual tournament titles at the Git-R-Done Invitational, the Hal Williams Collegiate and The Johnnie-O at Sea Island in 2025-26. His 198 (-18) at The Johnnie-O at Sea Island and his 195 (-15) at the Hal Williams were both school tournament records, as was his 62 (-8) in the first round at the Hal Williams.
A total of 150 Division I golfers from 81 schools were honored by the GCAA with PING All-Region accolades in 2026.
