NORMAN, Okla. – Golfweek Magazine released their 2025-26 men’s All-America teams on Wednesday morning, seeing the LSU’s Jay Mendell earn a nod for the first time in his career.
Since 1999, Golfweek has selected All-Americans in addition to Players and Coaches of the Year in men’s and women’s college golf. The tradition of honoring the best in college golf continues this year.
An All-American honorable mention is one of man honors that will roll through this postseason for junior Jay Mendell.
Mendell led the Tigers with an LSU record single season stroke average of 69.82 in 34 rounds, becoming the first Tiger to close a season under 70. He recorded 25 rounds of par or better, which ranks top 10 in LSU history for a single season and finished top five twice and top 10 three times during 2025-26.
The Louisianan closed his season at 70 career par-or-better rounds, which tied John Peterson for third on the all-time LSU list, needing just six more to tie the LSU record.
He closed the collegiate season at No. 50 on the World Amateur Golf Ranking index, and No. 50 on the Scoreboard/Clippd national-individual rankings. Mendell was recently named GCAA PING All-Southeast Region Team as well.
