Spartanburg, S.C. - While the 10th-ranked USC Upstate men's golf team is in the midst of battling for the NCAA Division II National Championship in Allendale, Mich., Spartan sophomore Baxter Culler continues to rack up individual accolades and has been named to the Southeast Region All-Region team released Wednesday by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
