NORMAN, Okla. – Missouri Western men's golfer Jeffrey Johnston has been named an NCAA Division II Ping All Central Region Player for a second straight season.

The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced their all-region picks Wednesday.

Johnston just ended his storied Missouri Western career this past weekend at the NCAA Division II Central Midwest Regional at St. Joseph Country Club.

Johnston finished that tournament Saturday with a three-round total of 220 (+7), tying for 36^th overall.

Johnston ended up as the fourth highest ranked individual in the field, finishing a stroke shy of qualifying for nationals.

Johnston finished his senior season with five top 10 finishes, including four top fives, and a victory at the Central Region Preview at St. Joseph Country Club back on October 7.

A St. Joseph native, Johnston ended his collegiate career with four victories, three NCAA regional appearances and three all-MIAA nods.

With 16 career top 10 finishes, Johnston owns the lowest scoring average in Missouri Western men's golf history.

About PING
PING designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of golf equipment including metal woods, irons, wedges, putters and golf bags. The family-owned company was founded in 1959 in the garage of the late Karsten Solheim, a mechanical engineer with an extensive background in the aerospace and computer industries. His frustration with his putting inspired him to design his own putter, which created a "pinging" sound when striking a golf ball. This sound was the source of the name now synonymous with innovation, quality and service throughout the world of golf. Solheim and his company are credited with numerous innovations that became industry standards, including perimeter weighting, custom fitting and the use of investment casting in the manufacturing of golf clubs.  His insistence on adhering to strict engineering principles and tight manufacturing tolerances raised the level of product performance and quality throughout the golf industry.  Solheim is the only person to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame as a golf club manufacturer. Today, the Phoenix-based company is under the direction of Solheim's grandson, John K. Solheim, who leads a team of more than 800 dedicated employees committed to helping improve the games of golfers around the world.
