STILLWATER, Okla. - Michael Whitehead, who just concluded his senior season at Rice University, has been named a Division I PING All-Region selection as announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
Whitehead, the 2011 Conference USA Golfer of the Year, was named to the All-Central Region team.
A total of 152 players across six regions - Northeast, East, Southeast, Midwest, Central and West - earned all-region honors for 2011.
Following the conclusion of play at the NCAA Colorado Regional just over a week ago, Whitehead turned pro. His first competition as a professional will come next Monday when he attempts to qualify for the 2011 U.S. Open.
Whitehead, who advanced through local qualifying for the U.S. Open last month, will compete in a 36-hole Sectional Qualifier on Monday at the Dallas Athletic Club.
