WICHITA FALLS, Texas – The Golf Coaches Association of America revealed players selected for the Second, Third and Honorable Mention 2026 NCAA Division II PING All-America Teams on Friday. Seth Bearden was one of 28 golfers named Honorable Mention All-America.

Bearden was named an All-American for the third consecutive year. Last year, he was a First Team All-American after being named to the second team following his sophomore campaign.

Bearden joined Jake Doggett as the only three-time All-Americans in the history of the Midwestern State golf program.

In October, Bearden won the NCAA II National Preview at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder, Colorado. He finished the season with four top-five results, including a fifth-place finish during stroke play of the Lone Star Conference Championship at Rockwall Golf & Athletic Club.

In 32 rounds of stroke play this season, Bearden shot par or lower 20 times and had eight rounds in the 60s. He had three sub-70 rounds, including a season low 5-under 67 in the second round at the NCAA II National Preview, and he finished 13-under 203 on his way to the title in Boulder.

Bearden led the Mustangs with 356 pars and 113 birdies, and he carded two eagles during the 11 tournaments he played this season. The native of Crowell, Texas, finished as the leading scorer for Midwestern State in eight of those tournaments.

Bearden is ranked No. 48 in the nation, and he is No. 8 in the region with a record of 788-141-26 against other NCAA Division II golfers.
