NORMAN, Okla. – Evan Brown capped his Loyola University Maryland golf career on Monday by being named the school's first-ever All-American and the third in Patriot League history. The recent graduate was named to the PING All-America Honorable Mention by the Golf Coaches Association of American (GCAA).
 
Brown was named the 2021 winner of the John Mohler Award as Loyola's top male senior student-athlete and last month became the first player in school or conference history to be named to the PING All-Region Team three times in a career.
 
He joins PGA Tour winner Billy Hurley (2004, Navy) and Peter Kim (2017, Army West Point) as the only Patriot League golfers to earn All-America honors.
 
Brown finished his Loyola playing career in May with a tie for eighth at the NCAA Kingston Springs Regional, the best finish at a NCAA event by a Loyola or Patriot League golfer. He broke his own school scoring record in 2021, finishing with an average of 70.90, five-hundredths better than the 70.95 he posted in 2019-2020.
 
He posted five top-five finishes and six in the top-10, and he finished in the top-20 of all seven events the Greyhounds participated in this year. Twelve of his 21 rounds were at par or better, and he did not have a round of worse than 3-over par.
 
Brown won his second career collegiate tournament in April at Penn State's Rutherford Intercollegiate with a tournament-record score of 11-under, and he then was second at the Patriot League Championships.
 
This summer, he has continued his strong amateur play with a 42^nd-place finish at the Sunnehanna Amateur and 44^th-place at the North-South Amateur.
