DALLAS – Two Conference USA golfers were named to the PING Division I All-Region Team announced on Saturday, as Liberty’s Ike Joy and Kennesaw State’s Claes Borregaard were recognized for their outstanding play this season.
 
The PING All-Region Teams were announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), with players across six regions and 82 schools earning all-region honors in 2025.
 
 Joy was named to the East Region Team. The senior Flame earned Conference USA All-Tournament team honors as well as first team honors. Joy also received Conference USA Player of the Week honors twice this season and held a scoring average of 70.8, while ranking in the top 200.
 
Borregaard was named to the Southeast Region Team. The senior Owl made huge strides this season, claiming CUSA Player of the Year and clinching a spot in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship.

PING designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of golf equipment including metal woods, irons, wedges, putters and golf bags. The family-owned company was founded in 1959 in the garage of the late Karsten Solheim, a mechanical engineer with an extensive background in the aerospace and computer industries. His frustration with his putting inspired him to design his own putter, which created a “pinging” sound when striking a golf ball. This sound was the source of the name now synonymous with innovation, quality and service throughout the world of golf. Solheim and his company are credited with numerous innovations that became industry standards, including perimeter weighting, custom fitting and the use of investment casting in the manufacturing of golf clubs.
