Stillwater, Okla.-The list of awards for Robert Morris University golfer C.G. Mercatoris (Brookville, Pa. / Brookville) continues to grow as he was named a Golf Coaches Association of America Division I PING All-Region selection Tuesday evening. In this banner year, Mercatoris won the Western Pennsylvania Golf Association's Frank Fuhrer Award, was named the Northeast Conference Men's Golf Player of the Year and was an All-NEC First Team selection.

The GCAA PING All-Region honorees include a total of 152 golfers from six different regions. Mercatoris was one of 25 selections from the Northeast Region. He is the first RMU golfer to earn all-region status.

Mercatoris was also the first RMU player to be named the NEC Player of the Year and the first to play in the NCAA Tournament. He finished 31st at the NCAA Colorado Regional.

In the previous 20 seasons of men's golf, Robert Morris golfers accounted for six individual tournament titles. Mercatoris won four tournaments this season alone, including a two-stroke victory at the NEC Men's Golf Championships. Now a three-time All-NEC selection, Mercatoris had the best stroke average of any NEC golfer at 72.90.

The senior entered 10 tournaments this season, winning half of those and finishing in the top ten of all but two events. He set records for 36 and 54 hole totals relative to par. He fired a three-under at the two-round RMU Holiday Inn Colonial Classic event. Six months later, he was four-under after three rounds at the Mount St. Mary's Spring Invitational. Mercatoris won both of those events.
