Charlotte All-America Scholars Seb Cave And Justin Matthews Selected By The Golf Coaches Association
Seb Cave and Justin Matthews of Charlotte Men’s Golf have been named 2025-26 Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars, announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Monday (Aug. 3).
To be eligible for Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar nomination, an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior both academically and athletically in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their associate’s degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA.

Matthews finished tied for fifth individually at the NCAA Corvallis Regional at six under par (207) as the top finisher for Charlotte. Matthews’ season stroke average of 70.10 set a new program record, surpassing Seb Cave’s 70.67 which was set last season. Matthews also ended the season ranked 70th in the Scoreboard individual rankings ahead of Frazer Jones (145th) and Cave (153rd) while recording five top 10 finishes and shooting for par or better in 21 of his 30 rounds played.
