Josh Gallman Despite graduating from USC Upstate in May, former Spartan golf great and Gaffney native Josh Gallman continues to haul in honors for his performance on the golf course and in the classroom.

The latest achievement was earning his second straight Cleveland Golf/Srixon All- American Scholar honor, announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Thursday.

To be eligible for the Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar program in NCAA Division I, an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least two full years on the college level, participate in 70-percent of his team’s competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships, have a stroke average under 76.0 and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2.

A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university. Gallman earned his first All- American Scholar honor last year. Gallman graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing in May.

He finished his college career with a 3.726 GPA and graduated with honors in the George Dean Johnson, Jr., College of Business.

He earned ESPN The Magazine Third Team Academic All-America honors in June. He was inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma National Student-Athlete Honor Society, the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Fraternity in the Johnson College of Business and earned the Top Business Marketing Student Award.

He was also named the USC Upstate Male Student Athlete of the Year, an award that combines both academic and athletic excellence, for the second time in his four years as a Spartan.

Gallman finished his career at Upstate as the program’s all-time top player and one of the top student athletes to come through the athletics program.

He holds every career and single-season school record, including seven career wins, 21 career top five finishes, 33 career top 10 performances and a 72.7 career stroke average.

His 71.4 stroke average in 2009-’10 is the top single-season average in school history, while his .938 winning percentage as a sophomore also tops the single-season list.
