UNC junior golfer Carter Jenkins has been named to the 2016 All-Atlantic Coast Conference men’s golf team.

Jenkins is the only Tar Heel among the 12 players named to the all-conference team.

Jenkins leads UNC with a 71.79 stroke average per round. Jenkins has shot 13 rounds under par this season and seven rounds in the 60s, both of which also lead the team.

“We are excited for Carter,” UNC head coach Andrew Sapp said in a release. “It is a great honor in a very competitive conference. Carter’s consistent play all year is what helped him earn this award and we are very proud of him.”

As a team, Carolina is preparing for the NCAA Arizona Regional coming up May 16 – 18, where the Tar Heels are the No. 5 seed. Of the 14 teams at the regional, the top five finishers will advance to the NCAA Championships.
