BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Matt Moot of Campbell University has been named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar by the Golf Coaches Association of America for 2009-10. The junior from Johnstown, Pa., is one of 119 Division I golfers to earn the award.

To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least two full years at the collegiate level, participate in 70-percent of his team's competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I and maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.

A three-time Atlantic Sun Conference All-Academic Team member, Moot owns a 3.742 grade-point average as a business administration major. He played in all 10 events for the Camels in '09-10 and posted a 73.5 stroke average.

"Campbell University is about creating options for the future," said Campbell head coach John Crooks. "Matt is an outstanding student-athlete in every sense. He is one of the hardest workers on the golf team and one of the most conscientious students I have had the privilege to coach. He is preparing himself to be one of our future leaders once he graduates. Matt will have choices in his chosen sport, in the world of finance, and on the political scene if he chooses. Matt Moot is a deserving and worthy recipient of the Cleveland golf/Srixon All-American honor."

Moot earned Atlantic Sun All-Tournament honors in April after finishing in a fourth-place tie at the league championship. He shot 75-71-69-215 on the par-72, 6975-yard Legends Course at Chateau Elan in Braselton, Ga., including three-straight birdies to close the final round.

The A-Sun performance marked one of four top-10 showings for Moot in 2009-10. He tied for fifth at the Xavier Renaissance Invitational in Ft. Myers, Fla., where he shot a collegiate career-low 65 in the opening round and finished the 54-hole event at 12-under-par (65-68-71-204).

Moot's 65 was the team's second-best round of the 2009-10 season and stands just one stroke shy of the school (Division I era) record-low round of 64, shared by Vaita Guillaume (2010) and Simon Dunn (2001). His 204 total at Renaissance is the third-best 54-hole effort in CU records.

The two-time former Tri-State junior champion is one of eight Atlantic Sun golfers to earn a place on the Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar team. East Tennessee State (Rhys Enoch, Paul O'Kane, Seamus Power) had three individuals recognized, while Belmont (Scott O'Brien, Dan Smith) placed two. Josh Gallman (USC Upstate) and J.P. Putnam (Kennesaw State) also were named to the unit.

In May, Moot won the Keith Hills Amateur Championship by shooting 66-71-137 on his collegiate home course. He then paired with Campbell teammate Zak Drescher to win the Pennsylvania Better-Ball Championship.
