NORMAN, Okla. - Junior Devon Bling earned GCAA/PING Third-Team All-American honors, as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Thursday.

Bling completed the 2019-2020 season with a combined score of 12-under, shooting 6-under in round ones, 2-under in round twos and 4-under in round threes for a scoring average of 71.0. He had five Top 20s in his seven tournaments, nine under-par rounds and five rounds in the 60s. 

The junior ended his season with a solid month of March, as he was named Pac-12 Conference Golfer of the Month. Bling was victorious at the Bandon Dunes Championship (March 8-10), posting a 54-hole score of 5-under 208. He opened with a 1-under 70, but entered the final round tied for the lead following a 4-under 67 in the second round. Bling's even-par 71 in the final round wrapped up his second collegiate victory. Bling was under par in four of his six rounds in March, placing solo third at the Southern Highlands Collegiate (March 1-3), closing at 7-under 209. He opened and ended the event with 4-under 68s to finish one shot back of the individual lead.

It is the first All-American award for Bling.
