Penn State Golf Courses HOME OF PENN STATE GOLF

Penn State’s Blue and White Golf Courses completed a major renovation and redesign in 2007. The Blue Course is now a Par 72, 7,228 yards from the Championship tees. The renovated Blue Course hosted its first major amateur event, the 2009 Big Ten Men’s Golf Championship. The Blue Course was very well received by coaches and players alike. The individual Big Ten Champion scored 1-under-par over the 72 holes. The Big Ten Conference is well known for the outstanding caliber of its university-owned golf courses, and with the updates and improvements made in 2007, the Blue Course proudly sits with some of the top in this group. The Blue Course annually hosts the Rutherford Intercollegiate and has hosted numerous events conducted by the USGA, FCWT, AJGA, IJGT, PGA Junior Series and the West Penn Golf Association. The White Course provides a historic alternative to golfers in the area. Designed in 1922 by world famed architect Willie Park Jr., eight original holes and green complexes still exist. The current layout is shorter than the Blue Course, but still provides a test for even the skilled golfer. The White Course provides smaller raised and undulated green complexes which add to its character and demand a creative and disciplined shot making to score well. The sculpted bunkering design style of Willie Park Jr. is still studied and photographed by some of today’s top architects.

Tombros Varsity Clubhouse The Tombros Varsity Clubhouse is the newest asset of Penn State’s men’s and women’s golf teams. It is conveniently located between the Blue and White Courses, just west of the Blue Course’s 18th hole and right next to the Walker Clubhouse. Peter and Ann Tombros propelled the project with an initial donation in 2007. The project was additionally funded by donations from numerous alumni and Nittany Lion Club donors. The facility provides coaches’ offices, team locker rooms and club storage. A lounge with a big screen TV allows the team to relax and study while at the course. A new heated indoor hitting-net facility and indoor-to-outdoor hitting bays give the golfers an advantage, especially in the winter months. A new V-1 video system provides the team with video instruction to help improve development. In addition to its prime location and exceptional features, the facility will also give the program an edge from a recruiting standpoint as it is better able to compete with the programs who previously had their own facilities. “This building will definitely start with recruiting, but when the players get here, we look at process and how much they enjoy and remember the program,” said Nittany Lion head coach Greg Nye. “The process of the daily activity, of running a program and of being a comfort to the players, it is a place where they can launch from to do the necessary practice, to do the work to get better, to compete hard and to be successful.”

Head Coach Greg Nye HC

Greg Nye Head Coach • 34th Year / 26th at Penn State College of Wooster, ’79

In his 26th year at Penn State, men’s golf coach Greg Nye is the longesttenured coach in program history and has guided the Nittany Lions to national prominence, while bolstering the program’s reputation as a perennial power in eastern collegiate golf. The historic marches to NCAA Finals in 1996, 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2017 are five major highlights of a respected career. The most significant contribution Nye has made to Penn State and eastern collegiate golf came in the 1995-96 season when they became the first-ever Northeastern or Mid-Atlantic team to advance to the NCAA Finals since the regional format was established in 1987 with a ninthplace finish in the NCAA East Regional. In 2004, his Nittany Lions rocked the collegiate golf world by nearly winning the NCAA East Regional, finishing second among 27 teams, seven of which were ranked in the nation’s top 15, including the nation’s No. 1-ranked Florida Gators. The Nittany Lions then went on to finish 15th amongst 30 teams at the NCAA Finals, making Penn State golf history with its highest team and individual finish with Mark Leon capturing 6th. The team headed into Big Ten territory for the 2008 edition of the NCAA regionals after receiving a bid to the Central Regional hosted by Ohio State. The 13th-seeded Penn State team captured an eighth-place finish to secure its third NCAA Finals berth under Coach Nye. The Penn State squad was propelled into the 2010 NCAA Finals by seniors T.J. Howe and Kevin Foley. The standout team performance secured a fourth-place finish for the Nittany Lions at regionals upsetting several highly ranked teams and only two shots behind first-place Texas. Howe’s first-place finish made Penn State history in that he became the first Lion to ever win a NCAA regional. The second Nittany Lion to ever win an NCAA Regional came in 2017, when Nye led Penn State to a fifth-place team finish in the NCAA Washington Regional to advance into the NCAA Finals in Sugar Grove, Ill. Junior Cole Miller captured the individual title, shooting 7-under par to win by three strokes. The Blue & White would go on to finish in a tied for 24th in the finals.

Personal Milestones

In April 2007, Nye marked a personal achievement while the Nittany Lions celebrated their victory at the Marshall Invitational, beating the next best team by 12 strokes. The championship, won on a cool, snowy weekend at the Guyan Golf and Country Club, was the 50th of Nye’s coaching career.

2017-18 | PENN STATE MEN'S GOLF

To date, Nye’s career coaching win total stands at 70. In his first two years, Nye’s teams set two Penn State records for the number of championships earned in a season, with six in 1992-93 and eight in 1993-94, a that mark was tied by the 1996-97 squad.

Academic & Athletic Excellence

In addition to the team’s success on the course, Nye has continually stressed strong performance in the classroom. In 1999-2000, 20012002 and 2015-16, his teams led the nation with three Golf Coaches Association of America All-American Scholar team selections. During the summer of 2015, the Nittany Lions received the President's Special Recognition by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) with Stanford University for teams with a grade point average over 3.5. In 25 seasons at Penn State, the Nittany Lions have consistently achieved a team GPA greater than 3.00. In 2000-01, 2013-14 and 201415, Nye’s team received the award for the top GPA of the 31 intercollegiate teams at Penn State. Six times his Lions topped all the men’s teams with latest honor coming in the spring of 2016. Nye has coached 26 GCAA All-American Scholars and each year he has seen a high percentage of the team rewarded for academic achievements with Academic All-Big Ten honors. Nye’s teams have continually ranked near or at the top of the MidAtlantic or Northeast Region. His teams have qualified for the NCAA Championship Regional 21 times, with a current streak of three straight NCAA Regional appearances in 2015, 2016 and 2017, while reaching the NCAA Championship Finals five times, including 2017. In 2011, senior T.J. Howe competed individually at the Virginia Tech Regional. His squads also won the Eastern Championship three straight seasons, 1994, 1995, and in 1997. Nye has been awarded the NCAA Regional Coach of the Year 10 times, in 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2016 and 2017. He has coached 71 NCAA All-Region players, five Mid-Atlantic Region Players of the Year, 13 All-Big Ten selections, as well as nine NCAA All-Americans — Adam Decker (1997), Matt Abbott (2001), Mark Leon (2004), Foley (2008/09/10), Howe (2010), Charles Huntzinger (2016), and Cole Miller (2017).

The Road to Happy Valley

After eight years as head coach of the Bowling Green State University men’s and women’s golf teams in Bowling Green, Ohio, Nye was attracted to Penn State and its membership in the Big Ten Conference. The 1987 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year developed a familiarity with Penn State through its golf camps, and has been directing golf camps for the last 34 years.

Head Coach Greg Nye Professional Leadership

Nye has been a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America since 1984 and served as the Chair of the Ethics committee for 10 consecutive years from 1993-2003. In addition, he also served the NCAA as a District Selection Chair for the NCAA Championship from 1997-99. Nye, a “Class A” member of the PGA of America since 1982, began his professional career working as a golf professional in 1980.

Playing Career

Nye graduated from the College of Wooster (Ohio) in 1979 where he earned All-America honors each of his four years. As a sophomore, junior and senior, he received first-team honors. Nye and his teammates captured the first-ever NCAA Division III Golf Championship in 1975, where he finished eighth individually. Before concluding his collegiate career, Nye earned second, fourth and sixth-place finishes in the NCAA Championship. Nye was the individual champion in the Ohio Athletic Conference in his final two years at Wooster. In 1978, he set a conference margin of victory record winning by 11 shots. He played on Fighting Scot teams that captured conference titles in 1975, 1976 and 1977. While at Wooster, Nye played several notable national amateur tournaments, and after graduation he played professionally on the Florida mini-tours. In 1990, Nye was inducted into the College of Wooster’s Athletic Hall of Fame, and was honored with induction into the Wayne County, Ohio, Sports Hall of Fame in Wooster, Ohio, in 2002. In the fall of 2009, Nye was also inducted into the Wooster High School Hall of Fame.

“

I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue a passion for competitive golf at a few very special places with many outstanding people. Penn State has been one of those places. I have particularly enjoyed the Penn State approach to intercollegiate athletics. Penn State supports our program to be competitive athletically on a conference and national level, but insists that the studentathlete's education and well-being remain first and foremost.

A Life In Golf

”

When asked about how his life in golf and Penn State fit together Nye said, “Sports, golf, competing, coaching and teaching have been with me from the beginning. I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue a passion for competitive golf at a few very special places with many outstanding people. Penn State has been one of those places. I have particularly enjoyed the Penn State approach to intercollegiate athletics. Penn State supports our program to be competitive athletically on a conference and national level, but insists that the student-athletes’ education and well-being remains first and foremost.” Nye and his wife, Marjie, reside in State College, and are parents of two sons, Russell and Graham.

Nye Family Golf Tradition

Coach Nye’s two brothers and his father have all been greatly involved in the sport of golf. Father Bob Nye coached all three sons at the College of Wooster in Ohio and has seen each son find his own niche professionally. Bob Nye coached golf and soccer at the College of Wooster from 19631996 and was inducted into Wooster’s Hall of Fame in 1997. He served as the president of the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) from 1984-86 and was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2000, the elder Nye received the GCAA’s highest distinction by being presented with the Honor Award for his lifetime contributions to golf. He was named the Golfweek Father of the Year in 2007. Coach Nye’s brother, Scott, is the head golf professional at the prestigious Merion Golf Club, located in Ardmore, Pa., which has hosted four United States Open Championships. In his time at Merion, the course has hosted the 2004 US Amateur, the 2009 Walker Cup and recently hosted the 2013 U.S. Open. Nye’s youngest brother, Gary, serves as the head golf professional at the Stock Farm Club in Hamilton, Montana. 2017-18 | PENN STATE MEN'S GOLF

Athletic Director's Trophy February 4, 2017 • Kissimmee, Fla. • Reunion Club KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Forty-five years since the last installment of the Athletic Director’s Trophy, Penn State men’s golf reclaimed the title defeating West Virginia University by nine strokes at the Reunion Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. “The event was fantastic and showed great sportsmanship throughout,” said head coach Greg Nye. “It was hard to believe it has been 45 years since this event has been played. Coach Covich (WVU) and I enjoyed bringing it back and hope to do it again soon.” Penn State slotted the lowest two finishers of the day with junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) leading the field, netting an even par 72 and sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) right behind at 1-over. Mountaineer Chris Williams finished 2-over followed by teammates Drew Dewald and Tristan Nicholls, who each finished at 76 before the Nittany Lion duo of Alec Bard (New Hartford, N.Y.) and JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) both came in at 77.

“Cole and Charles scored it out there today in the wind on a challenging track,” said Nye. “As expected both teams were rusty and in our case we need to have a good week of guided practice leading into the Big Ten Match Play.” Pos

B1G Match Match PlayPlay February 10-11, February 2017 • Palm 10-11, Coast, 2017Fla. • Palm • Hammock Coast, Fla. Beach • Hammock Resort Beach Resort PALM COAST, Fla. — The Penn State Nittany Lions secured a program-best second-place finish at the Big Ten Match Play Championship, defeating Iowa in the semifinals before falling to Northwestern in the championship at the Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Florida. Semifinals The 5th-seeded Lions squared off against the eighth-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes to begin action on the final day of the Big Ten Match Play Championship. Sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) won 5&4 and freshman Alec Bard (New Hartford, N.Y.) won 3&2 to give Penn State the early 2-0 lead with neither trailing at any point in their matches.

This secured Penn State's best finish in its Big Ten Match Play history and first appearance in the championship. Finals The Blue & White met the No. 3 seed in the championship, Northwestern, to close out the Big Ten Match Play Championship, ultimately falling 3.5-2.5 to claim second. Elliott and Huntzinger both dropped their final matches 5&4 and 7&5, respectively, before Dornes put Penn State on the board with a 4&2 win making the score 2-1.

Junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) and senior Christian Elliott (Port Perry, Ontario) dropped their matches 2&1 and 3&2, respectively to even the score at 2-2.

Hughes halved his match after coming from a two-hole deficit with four holes remaining. The last two matches came down to the final hole, Miller with a one-hole lead and Bard tied. Bard dropped the final hole giving Northwestern the 3.5-2.5 victory after Miller won his match 2UP.

Sophomore JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) who needed to win the final hole in the quarterfinals to push Penn State into the semis fell 2&1 in second match of the weekend.

The second-place finish is the Nittany Lions' first and best finish at the Big Ten Match Play Championship.

Sophomore Ryan Dornes (Lancaster, Pa.), after trailing for 11 of the first 14 holes, won both 15 and 16 to take a one-hole lead entering the final two holes of play. After the match was evened up on 17, Dornes won 18, sending Penn State to the finals against Northwestern.

"We got beat by an excellent team today," Nye said. "They had us down in five matches midway, but not out. We had four guys step up over the last six holes and we nearly won it all at the last hole. The 30-plus foot steep downhill putt at the last made by Everton Hawkins was tough to watch after the comeback we made. That's sports. Proud of our team."

"Every one of our guys stayed in their match," said head coach Greg Nye. "No quit. That made the difference in the tie-breaker. Ryan Dornes came up big with a great two-putt from 80 feet in the back left corner of the green to win his match in crunch time to send us to the finals."

“We played exceptionally well out there today to end up with the win,” said head coach Greg Nye. “The Spartans are a very deep, well-coached and talented team. Anytime you can play team golf at even par on a championship golf course, you are feeling you have accomplished what you set out to do. Proud of our effort.

The Blue & White produced the three lowest scores of the day with junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) leading the way with the only sub-70 round at 69. Sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) and freshman Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) both shot 70s to follow Miller’s performance.

Seminole Intercollegiate March 10-12, 2017 • Tallahassee, Fla. • Southwood Golf Course TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Penn State men's golf led wire-to-wire all three days of action to claim the Seminole Intercollegiate Championship at 31-under with Cole Miller claiming the individual championship at 15-under on the Southwood Golf Course in Tallahassee, Florida. The Lions' team score of 233 ranks second lowest all-time for a 54-hole tournament as does junior Cole Miller's (New Tripoli, Pa.) three-round total of 201. Miller's victory also marks the second straight stroke-play tournament that a Lion has been crowned champion of after sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) won the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate in October.

Sophomore JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.), playing as an individual shot his thirdstraight even par round of 72 to finish tied with Davis for 31st. Pos

Miller's first collegiate victory featured a career-low 54-hole score of 201 and four eagles throughout the tournament, including one on 16 to separate himself from the field. His average par-5 score led the 81-player field at 4.00, and alone, he carded more eagles than any other team in the tournament.

Huntzinger finished in a tie for 12th after a 2-under 70 put him at 7-under for the tournament. The Georgia native was very consistent all weekend, totaling 39 pars, good for third-most in the field. Sophomore Ryan Dornes (Lancaster, Pa.) shot his lowest 54-hole score of 214 after an even par day secured the personal record and a tie for 27th. A string of four birdies in five holes starting at the seventh hole was crucial to the Lions' success as a team.

Freshman Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) also finished with a career-best score of 216 after a 3-over 75 put him at even par and tied for 31st for the tournament. Senior Christian Elliott (Port Perry, Ontario) shot 1-over to finish tied for 44th at 3-over overall. Elliott's opening round of 68 was the lowest shot by a Lion other than Miller.

Kingsmill Intercollegiate March 19-21, 2017 • Williamsburg, Va. • Kingsmill Resort River Course WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The 36th-ranked Penn State men’s golf team shot its second-straight team score of 284 to finish at 11-over and in second place amongst the 22-team field of the Kingsmill Intercollegiate in Williamsburg, Virginia. Junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) and sophomore Ryan Dornes (Lancaster, Pa.) finished as the only two golfers in the 117-player field without a round over par and a tie atop the individual leaderboard. However, the Lions were not able to secure a second-straight title with Tennessee claiming the team championship at 10-over. “Cole and Ryan worked very hard out there right down to the wire,” said head coach Greg Nye. “Nothing came easy on the recently aerated greens and they both stayed patient. Back-to-back for Cole is impressive and Ryan has worked super hard to get into our lineup and has just taken off.” For the second-straight tournament Miller has finished in first place, while also leading each tournament in par-5 scoring with a 4.00 average in both. Miller opened up his final round at 2-over, but went bogey free on the back-nine with two birdies to finish the tournament with a 1-under score of 209. Dornes began the tournament with a 1-under 69 and then followed it up with two straight even par showings to finish tied with Miller. This was a careerbest finish and first collegiate title for Dornes who has now shot under par in consecutive tournaments. Tied for second in total birdies made throughout the tournament, Dornes carded 10 with two of those coming on the back-nine in the final round.

Freshman Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) ended his tournament with a 2-over round of 72 to finish at 6-over and tied for 13th overall, a career-best finish in a 54-hole event. Senior Christian Elliott (Port Perry, Ontario) shot a 5-over on his final round to tie for 30th at 220 and sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) shot his lowest-score with a 2-over 72 to finish at 224 and tied for 51st. “Tennessee was just one better after three days,” said Nye. “Tough loss, but congrats to them as they played exceptionally well today when it was on the line.” Tennessee shot their lowest score of the tournament of 280 to edge out the Lions. Eastern Kentucky finished in third at 17-over, while Louisville took fourth at 21-over. Dornes and Miller tied with Marshall’s Clark Robinson to finish as co-champions with totals of 209. Pos

Kepler Intercollegiate April 22-23, 2017 • Columbus, Ohio • Ohio State Scarlet Course COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Penn State men's golf team shot its best round of the tournament to finish in a tie for fourth place with host school Ohio State in a 15-team field at the Kepler Intercollegiate in Columbus, Ohio.

"Yesterday, late on our final nine holes we got worn down with the relentless course set up and overly firm green surfaces," said Nye. "Being frustrated you start to force things and that never ends well, thus, our deficit at day's end."

The Lions bounced back from their second round score of 307 for a sub-300 final round of 297 to finish at 903 for the tournament. Three Blue & White golfers finished in the top 25, one of three teams in the field to do so.

Illinois took home the team title at 12-over with Kent State 10 strokes behind. Iowa finished in third place at 47-over before the Lions and Buckeyes at 51over.

"Today as a team we did not start great through five holes," said head coach Greg Nye. "But, over the final 13 we played smarter, no quit, determined golf. I loved seeing this in our team."

Dylan Meyer from Illinois won the player championship with the only threeday total under par at 2-under.

Sophomore JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) shot his second 2-over round of 73 to finish in a tie for 14th place at 224, while sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) shot a 75 to finish one stroke behind Hughes at 225 and in a tie for 19th place. Junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) shot his best round of 74 to finish a shot behind Huntzinger at 226 and tied for 22nd. Freshman Alec Bard (New Hartford, N.Y.) ended his tournament with a 78 and finished in a tie for 48th, while freshman Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) shot his best round of the tournament at 75 to finish in a tie for 58th.

Championship April 28-30, 2017 • Baltimore, Md. • Five Farms East Course BALTIMORE Md. — The Penn State men’s golf team finished with two golfers in the top-6 and shot its lowest round of the Big Ten Championship to finish in a three-way tie for fifth with Iowa and Purdue in the 14-team field in Baltimore, Maryland.

"Cole was so solid start-to-finish this week and for that matter this entire second half of our year," said Nye. "He has improved technically, strategically, yes, but it is his composure and patience that has paved the way for him success after success."

"It was a day where we had all five players playing well through 13 holes," said head coach Greg Nye. "A rough stretch at 14 & 15 knocked us back in the team standings only to recover playing 16-18 under par to finish. We have had an ability the last six events or more to close. You have to dig deep. Proud of this team."

Sophomore JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) finished in a tie for 35th after a 4-over 74 put him at 220 after three rounds. Freshman Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) shot his best round of the weekend at 1-over and senior Christian Elliott (Port Perry, Ontario) shot a 78 to wrap up his weekend.

The Nittany Lions, along with Illinois, were the only teams to have two golfers finish within the top-6 of the 70-player field. Sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) shot his only subpar round in a 3-under 67 to finish at 2-under for the tournament after back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18. Huntzinger finished tied for 4th place with five birdies and two bogies on the day. "Charles was +5 through 11 holes of the first round," said Nye. "Then fights his way back to -2 for the next 43 holes to earn a spot on the All-Big Ten Tournament team with a top-5 finish. Just impressive." Junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) also shot a late birdie to carry himself under par overall after he birdied the par-4, 16th hole. Miller was 2-under through six before bogeying three straight. He then shot 2-under on the back nine to put him in a tie for sixth one-stroke behind Huntzinger at 209.

Illinois finished as the only team under par at -11 and led after all three days of action. Northwestern finished second at 5-over with Ohio State at 15-over before the trio of Penn State, Iowa and Purdue at 18-over. Illinois’ Dylan Meyer finished at 5-under to win the individual title with Ohio State’s Will Grimmer and Northwestern’s Ryan Lumsden tied for second at 4-under before Penn State’s Huntzinger. Pos

NCAA Regionals May 15-17, 2017 • Sammamish, Wash. • Aldarra Country Club SAMMAMISH, Wash. — The Penn State men’s golf team finished fifth at the Washington Regional and secured its first appearance in the NCAA Championship since 2010. The Championship will be held in Sugar Grove, Illinois, from May 26-29.

"I cannot say enough about the play of Ryan Davis," Nye said. "After a tough Big Ten, he just prepared and was super determined to compete at a higher level in the NCAA Regional. A top-10 finish in this field is one heck of an accomplishment."

Junior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) shot his third consecutive sub-par round, a 3-under 68 to win the individual championship at 7-under. He is the second Nittany Lion to win an NCAA Regional (TJ Howe, 2010).

Sophomore Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) shot a 2-over 73 to finish with a score of 220 and tied for 27th, while freshman Alec Bard (New Hartford, N.Y.) shot 8-over and finished tied for 51st.

"What a battle we had with Alabama, Washington, Texas A&M, San Diego and UTEP all day today," said Greg Nye, Nittany Lion head coach. "We responded so well when Washington made a strong surge on the final nine, getting contributions from all five guys. That was fun to go at it that hard. I have said it before, but this team has consistently displayed a resilience and fight all year."

Sophomore JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) shot his lowest round of the regional finishing with a 76 and tied for 65th place.

This will mark the fifth time under Nye that the Lions have appeared in the NCAA Championship with appearances in 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2010 with their best finish in 2004 (15th). Miller finished with the lowest par-4 scoring and shot the third-most birdies in the field. This was Miller’s fifth individual title of the 2016-17 season. "Cole was not going to be denied today," Nye said. "Not everything went his way and he simply moved on through adversity, kept his poise and rebounded with some great golf shots." Freshman Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) matched Miller’s last two rounds of 69 and 68 to finish tied for eighth at 1-under. Davis led the field in par-5 scoring at 7-under and finished fourth in overall birdies with 13.

USC was the No. 1 ranked team entering the regional and finished first as the only team under par at minus-3 with Kent State (+3), Florida State (+10), Alabama (+10) and the Lions (+11) advancing to the national championship. Miller finished with a three-stroke lead over four golfers tied at 4-under. The lone individual advancing to the NCAA Championship is Chandler Phillips from Texas A&M who finished in seventh at 2-under. Pos

The Nittany Lions shot a team total of 31-under 833 at the Blackthorn Club at The Ridge to match the second-lowest 54-hole team total in program history.

Senior Cole Miller shot 4-under 211 for the weekend, including a final round of 2-under 70 to finish in a tie for 12th.

In round one, Hughes shot a 6-under 66, his career-low, and he made 19 birdies on the weekend, tied for the most in the tournament.

Sophomore Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) matched a season low in the final round with a 3-under 69 to finish in a tie for 15th along with junior JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) at 10-over for the tournament.

After a windy day one was shortened due to darkness, the teams completed round two on ay two and continued into the third and final round.

Penn State played the par fives at 7-under for the tournament to lead the field, and eagles by Hughes and Davis put the Nittany Lions at the top of the category for the tournament.

“Today, with far less wind, we certainly looked more like the team we have been and climbed the leaderboard with a great round at 6-under,” said Penn State men’s golf coach Greg Nye. Penn State recorded the lowest final round at 6-under to close out the tournament. Senior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) carded a final round of 2-under 70 to finish in a tie for fourth place individually. Joining Miller in fourth was sophomore Alec Bard (New Hartford, N.Y.) who played as an individual. Bard posted a final round of 1-under 71 to secure his first career top-five finish at 2-over for the tournament. “Cole and Alec both had outstanding events,” Nye said. “Cole made a push at the end to (nearly) notch another victory and to see Alec break through was something all coaches love to see with those who work as hard as he does.”

Iowa State claimed the team title at 15-over, going wire-to-wire to win the event. The individual winner was Brian Ohr of Miami (Ohio) who was the only player under par at 1-under. Pos

Linger Longer Invitational March 18-20, 2018 • Eatonton, Ga. • Lake Reynolds Oconee GREENSBORO, Ga. — The Penn State men’s golf team finished the Linger Longer Invitational with a final round of 1-over 289 to finish third in the event with a total team score of 8-under-par on the Great Waters Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Georgia.

The Nittany Lions tied with tournament champion Alabama for most birdies in the tournament with 59 each as a team. Miller also tied with individual champion Lee Hodges of the Crimson Tide for most birdies by an individual with 17.

After an hour-and-a-half fog delay, the Nittany Lions’ original team times were pushed back nearly two hours.

The team victory marked the second Linger Longer Invitational title for Alabama in three years, with the last coming in 2016. The Crimson Tide were able to knock Georgia off the top spot on the leaderboard after the Bulldogs led after the first two rounds.

“I am very proud of this excellent finish down here in Georgia,” said Penn State head coach Greg Nye. “We grew through this experience. Alabama and Georgia have a long history of success in this event and we stayed with them most of the way.” The low round on the day for Penn State was carded by junior JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) who bounced back after bogeying two of his first three holes to shoot 2-under 70. Hughes’ round highlighted by an eagle on the par-four 11th. The lefty finished at 3-over for the tournament, in a tie for 32nd. Senior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) played a steady round of 1-over 73 to finish 5-under for the tournament. Miller recorded his second consecutive top-10 finish, tying for sixth in the event.

Junior Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) made a late charge, birdying four of his final five holes to finish with a 1-over 73 in the final round. Huntzinger found himself in a tie for 17th at 1-under for the tournament.

Rutherford Intercollegiate April 14-15, 2018 • State College, Pa. • Penn State Blue Course STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The Penn State men's golf team held its lead on the final day of the tournament, to claim the program's fourth-consecutive Rutherford Intercollegiate championship at the Penn State Blue Course. The two-day event saw contrasting weather patterns with bright sunshine on Saturday and brisk temperatures on Sunday.

Also in the top 10 was sophomore Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.). Davis' played the weekend at 1-over to tie for eighth place individually.

"I'm really proud of how the guys played throughout the event," said Penn State head coach Greg Nye. "Throughout the event, we were really good with scoring through all players and it goes without saying, that's what won the event for us."

Finishing as team runner-up at 7-over was West Virginia. Oakland finished 15over for third place. Following Miller on the individual leaderboard was West Virginia's Max Sear at 4-under.

Penn State's team total was 8-under 844, the second-lowest score in 54-hole tournament history and the lowest since shifting the format to 54 holes at 7,202 yards in 2008. Senior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) claimed the individual championship at 7-under, shooting an even-par 71 in the final round. His 7-under 206 is the second-lowest individual total since the tournament shifted to par at 213 in 2008. "One of Cole's big goals in his great career here at Penn State was to finally win the Rutherford," Nye said. "He's won at Florida State, he's won an NCAA Regional, and now he's won a lion statue."

In his first collegiate appearance, freshman James McHugh (Rye, N.Y.) finished tied for 27th at 8-over-par.

Kepler Intercollegiate April 21-22, 2018 • Columbus, Ohio • Ohio State Scarlet Course COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Penn State men’s golf team recorded its eighthstraight top-five finish at the Kepler Intercollegiate, finishing in third place on Sunday with a team total of 16-over on the Ohio State Golf Club Scarlet Course. The third-place finish gives the Nittany Lions eight top-five finishes in nine tournament events this season with five in the top three. "The Scarlet Golf Course at Ohio State certainly checks all facets of your game as well as your heart and competitive character," said Penn State men's golf coach Greg Nye. "We were up to it this weekend." After round two at the Kepler Intercollegiate was called for darkness on Saturday, the middle round was completed Sunday morning followed by the third and final round. Sophomore Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) led the way for the Nittany Lions with his first career top-five finish. Davis carded a final round of 1-under 70 to finish in a tie for second place at 3-under-par. "Ryan Davis played as well as he did last year in the NCAA West Regional," Nye said. "His driving and iron game were on in all three rounds. You need contributions from the entire lineup and he gave us a huge lift."

Senior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) finished just outside the top 10 at 3-over to tie for 11th. Also inside the top 25 was junior Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) who finished in a tie for 23rd at 7-over-par. Purdue put together a final round of 11-under to win the tournament at 3-under and 13th-ranked Illinois placed second at 3-over.

The Nittany Lion men's golf team recorded its ninth top-five finish of the season, placing fourth in the Big Ten Championship on Sunday at Baltimore Country Club. Fighting challenging weather conditions on Sunday and competing with only four players on Friday, the Nittany Lions earned a fourth-place finish, duplicating their effort from a year ago on the same course at 20-over. "As you can see from the scores across the board, it was a very tough day to score," said Penn State head coach Greg Nye. "I feel our guys gave all that they had and achieved a top-level team finish in an excellent conference." Miller was one of only two players who were under-par for the three-round event and he led the field in birdies with 15 to finish at 4-under for the Championship. "Cole played another outstanding tournament," Nye said. "He played one great shot after another throughout the weekend." As a team, Penn State led the field in par-five scoring, playing them at 10-under over the weekend. Sophomore Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) finished tied for 18th at 6-over for the Championship.

NCAA Regionals May 14-16, 2018 • Columbus, Ohio • Ohio State Scarlet Course

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Penn State men’s golf team’s season came to an end on Wednesday as the Nittany Lions placed sixth in the Columbus NCAA Regional. The Nittany Lions, posting a team total of 25-over-par at the Ohio State Golf Club, missed qualifying for the national championship by one spot. “There are not many words for coming up one place short of qualifying for the NCAA Finals,” said Penn State head coach Greg Nye. “We dug a big hole early today, but our great final nine holes showed pride and grit. I’m proud of their effort and sportsmanship at the close of competition after a very tough loss.” Senior Cole Miller (New Tripoli, Pa.) closed out his Penn State career with a vengeance, birdying his final four holes and playing bogey-free golf over his final 16 holes. He carded a final round 2-under 69 to move to 3-over for the regional and finish in a tie for 16th. Miller is now the program’s all-time career scoring leader at 72.11, passing Kevin Foley’s (2006-10) previous mark of 72.90. He also led the team in scoring average in 2017-18, posting an average of 70.97 in his senior campaign. Junior JD Hughes (Carlisle, Pa.) finished the regional in 18th place at 4-over after shooting 1-over 72 in his final round and junior Charles Huntzinger (Duluth, Ga.) played his second nine at 3-under to shoot 2-over 73 in round three. Huntzinger placed in a tie for 28th at 8-over for the regional.

Sophomore Ryan Davis played his final round at 4-over 75 to move to 10-over for the regional to finish in a tie for 34th. The region’s No. 1 team seed, Oklahoma State, was the wire-to-wire winner of the regional as it was the only team to play under-par for the week. The Cowboys were 8-under par to hold off Illinois, which finished even-par for the regional. An individual qualifier, Kyle Mueller of Michigan, was the regional medalist after carding a final round 5-under 66 to finish at 5-under-par for the regional.

Michael Carter Legacy

IN MEMORIAM

Mike Carter’s Legacy Lives On With Tree and Scholarship The Penn State golf family is still healing from the loss of Mike Carter — the spunky and colorful sophomore player from Westfield, N.J. — who passed away on February 13, 2002. Carter, who was known around the course and across campus for his upbeat attitude and engaging personality, was returning home when his car lost control and went off the roadway. Penn State was devastated and the Nittany Lions golf family mourned and remembered its fallen teammate with unity and grace. The men’s team wore pink pants as a tribute to Carter at the 2002 Rutherford Invitational, the Big Ten Championship and the NCAA East Regional. “He was a very bright light on our team, and we will always remember how he lived each day to the fullest,” said head coach Greg Nye. To ensure that the memory of Mike Carter lives on in perpetuity, the Penn State golf family and the Carter family have taken two significant measures. In the spring of 2002, the Penn State team and coaches planted a red maple tree near the 18th hole on the home Blue Course in State College, Pa., and dedicated it, with a plaque, to Mike Carter. In 2003, Michael and Mary Lou Carter endowed a grant in the name of their son to be awarded annually to the golf program. 38

Lions on Tour Penn State has long been a training ground for golfers to elevate their game. Upon graduation, several alumni have continued to compete in the sport and pursue their dreams of playing on the PGA Tour. While 2013 was a milestone year with Kevin Foley earning status on the PGA Tour, there were many players before him who have blazed a trail in the professional ranks, and may who continue to compete successfully on various tours in the hopes of joining Kevin on Golf’s grandest stage. Three-time All-American Kevin Foley graduated in 2010 and adjusted quickly to the pro game, enjoying an unprecedented rise through the ranks. Kevin’s first season as a professional was highlighted by his win in the 2011 New Jersey State Open. In 2012 he split time between the EGolfTour and Web.com tour. After establishing himself as one of the premier players on the EGolf Tour with 6 top-10s in 11 events and a win at the Pine Needles Classic, Kevin focused his attention back to the Web.com Tour where a 5th place finish at the Web.com Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational earned him enough money to gain status for the remainder of the year. Kevin finished the year with $119,000 in earnings giving him full status on Web.com for 2013. In 2013, Kevin picked up where he left off by winning the first event of the season at the Panama Claro Championship. Foley ultimately finished 24th on the money list in August 2013, earning a spot in the coveted “25”, and making him the first Nittany Lion since Dan O’Neill to earn a PGA Tour card. Foley’s success has continued and paid off in a big way after he qualified for his first U.S. Open in 2016. Added to the field as the first alternate, Howe and former Nittany Lion TJ Howe were the first alumni to represent Penn State in the event since 1999. Foley is currently playing on the Web.com Tour. TJ Howe is a 2011 graduate who made an impact in the professional ranks. A 2010 All-American selection, TJ enjoyed a successful rookie campaign on the Egolf Professional Tour with 4 top-10’s in 17 events in 2012 and $26,573 in earnings. Based in the Southeastern United States, the EGolf Tour is regarded by many as the most competitive mini-tour in the United States. While 2012 was a solid start for Howe, 2013 proved to be his breakout season on the EGolf Tour. TJ led the EGolf Professional Tour in total wins, with victories at The Forest Oaks Classic, The Mid Pines Classic, and the Cabarrus Classic. Ultimately his fine play resulted in a 3rd place finish on the money list with $60,479. TJ also has two victories on the NGA Tour, and he is poised to make the jump to the Web.com Tour in 2014. Howe qualified for his first U.S. Open in 2016 who won his local qualifier at 70-under in Vancouver, Washington and played on the Mackenzie Tour. He returned to Penn State as the Nittany Lion’s assistant coach in 2017. Robert Rohanna has enjoyed success as a pro since leaving Happy Valley in 2008. Robert won the 2010 Pennsylvania Open, and is currently playing on the Web.com Tour. Robert proved to be a dominant force on the NGA Tour throughout the winter of 2013-14, finishing in the top-five in each of his four events, highlighted by a win at Harmony Golf Preserve in November. Robert capped his successful NGATour campaign by earning full status on PGA Tour Latinoamerica, where the top-five money earners gain Web. com Tour membership for 2015. Robert will compete alongside many of the world’s top up and coming players on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica this season, and we look forward to following his progress. Mark Leon, a 2005 grad, earned Canadian Tour exempt status in the fall of 2007 after competing for Team Canada in 2006. Leon retained his status on the Canadian Tour for three seasons. He advanced to the 2nd round

of PGA Tour Q-School in 2008, narrowly missing out on q-school finals and a Web.com tour card by two strokes. Leon also made the cut in the 2007 Nationwide Tour’s Northeastern PA Classic and spent time playing on the Great Lakes Tour, winning the 2010 Mandarin Classic before returning to Penn State as assistant coach from 2011-17. Greg Pieczynski (class of 2006) won the 2008 Philadelphia Open as well as the 2008 Philadelphia PGA Assistants Championship. He finished seventh at the PGA National Assistants Championship in 2008. A native of Kingston, Pa., Pieczyinski also played in the Northeastern PA Classic on the Nationwide Tour in 2004, and from 2007-2009. Matt Abbott, a 2001 graduate has seen great success on the Gateway Tour and Minor League Tour. On the Gateway Tour he earned over $91,000 and made 32-of-40 cuts in his last two seasons on the tour. On the Minor League Tour, Abbott has earned numerous victories and over $20,000 in earnings. Jimbo Fuller, a 2003 graduate, began his professional career in 2006 on the Grey Goose Gateway Tour and had a very successful season. Fuller won one tournament, made 14-of-22 cuts and earned over $55,000. In 2006, Fuller qualified for the second stage of the PGA Tour Q-School. Adam Decker (1996) completed his 12th season as the the head coach for the University of Richmond in 2016-17, and has played in PGA Tour & Nationwide Tour events, including the 1998 Kemper Open, 2000 Florida Classic, 2001 Hershey Open and the 2001 Greater Cleveland Open. He had also played on the former Tear Drop Tour, where he won twice, and on the Golden Bear Tour, where he accumulated over $45,000. Dirk Ayers, a 1995 alum, has been a regular on the Canadian Tour. He joined the tour in 1997 through Q-School and has been a member ever since. His best year on the Canadian Tour was in 2004 when he finished runner-up twice and finished ninth on the money list with over $42,000 in earnings. Ayers has also played in several PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour events. He made the cut at the PGA Tour’s Canadian Open in 2004 and played the B.C. Open in 1998. His Nationwide Tour experiences include the 1996 Buffalo Open, 2003 Alberta Calgary Classic and 2004 Boise Open. Ayers has also competed on the Australasian PGA Tour. A 1993 alum, Jason Tyska perhaps turned in the most impressive performance by becoming the second Penn Stater to qualify for the U.S. Open but first to make the cut at the 1999 Open held in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Tyska went on to finish 53rd. He earned his way on to the 1999 Nationwide Tour by making it through all three stages of PGA Tour Q-school. He went on to make the cut in 12 events where he had four top-10 finishes. In 2000, Tyska played in four Nationwide Tour events and qualified for the PGA Tour’s Michelob Championship at Kingsmill. Danny O’Neill is the only Penn Stater to qualify for both the U.S. Open (1985) and U.S. Senior Open (2001). O’Neill is a 1972 graduate of Penn State. O’Neill remains the only Penn Stater to earn All-America honors all four years of his career. In his career, O’Neill has played in the 1990 & 1996 Buffalo Open (Nationwide Tour). He qualified for the 2002 U.S. Senior PGA Tour by finished 4th at the final stage. In his rookie year on tour (2002), Danny played in 29 events and earned over $216,000. “Penn State has had its share of talented players through the years,” Coach Nye said. “The young men who come into our program are here for education first, but they all have the tour as a goal or a dream. It is with great pride that we watch their efforts to play at the highest levels of the game.”

Penn State Golf History

Willie Parks was the designer and creator of the first Penn State golf course. The first golf holes were laid out on the Penn State campus in the late 1800s. The game became more and more popular and eventually became a 9-hole course in 1901. Known as the Golf Club of State College, the club became so popular that 50 percent of the faculty and students played the game. The possible location of this routing existed near the current location of Pollock Hall with some claiming that the location was closer to the present location of Beaver Stadium. In December of 1908, a new club was proposed and the generous support of Mr. H. Walton Mitchell, a strong alumnus and faithful alumni trustee, and other owners leased land known as the Dale Farm at a reduced rate for the purpose of a new club. The land was maintained by the course caretaker who lived in the farmhouse with their family and not only maintained the course with a flock of sheep but also would earn part pay from the produce he could raise off the land not occupied by the links. It is believed that the area of land is where parts of the current White Course are located today. Former Penn State Athletic Director Hugo Bezdek, hired in 1918, wanted the University to have better golf facilities and eventually a varsity team. In 1921, with public school money and a dream in his bag, Bezdek lured Golf Professional Robert B. Rutherford Sr., from New Britain, Conn. to oversee the change from a nine-hole course to an 18-hole championship course. Bezdek and Rutherford hired Willie Park Jr., an internationally known figure who designed some of the best courses in both the United States and Europe. Park, a native of Musselburgh, Scotland, won The British Open in 1887 and 1889. 40

2017-18 | PENN STATE MEN'S GOLF

The annual college championship was a popular event that was contested each fall on the college links. In 1922, Rutherford, nicknamed “Pop,” was named Head Coach and organized the first men’s golf team at Penn State. It was from the college championship that Rutherford would form the first varsity team. The team members were: J.W. Crookston (Captain), F.E. Dale, T.F. Connell, J.L. Bair, and C.M. Andrews (Manager). The first match in Penn State varsity golf history was played on the new campus course on May 26, 1922. The Nittany Lion golfers were defeated by the University of Pennsylvania in their intercollegiate debut by a score of four to three. Had the Lions defeated Penn, they likely would have been invited to The Intercollegiates (National Championship). In 1923, intercollegiate golf began to take shape. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn and Williams developed plans to form a golf league. With the steady growth and interest in golf at Penn State, it was only a matter of time before Penn State joined. Each team in the league was to play matches and the team with the best record was declared the champion. With the 1923 Nittany Lion schedule finalized, word was received in April that Penn State had been admitted to the Intercollegiate Golf League. Penn State would begin league play in 1924. The 1923 schedule included matches against Princeton, Lock Haven CC, Penn and Pittsburgh. The Lions would finish their second season of intercollegiate golf with a 6-1 record and were invited to The Intercollegiates where they went on to finish in eighth place. The first undefeated season in school history occurred in 1927. That year, Penn State went 5-0-1. The Lions proved to always be a challenge on the links during Pop’s years. The Lions only had three losing seasons from 1927 to 1942.

The War Years Through the Mid-Fifties With the major developments of World War II in the mid 1940s Rutherford was forced to have a limited schedule in 1943 and 44 and was unable to field a team in 1945 and 46. Varsity golf returned to Penn State in 1947 with a limited schedule. The Lions played five dual matches, finishing third at the EIGA Championship and 25th at The Intercollegiate. Rutherford’s team went on to have three more undefeated campaigns with the most significant being in 1948. The 1948 squad went into the EIGA Playoffs with an unblemished record of 3-0. The linksmen went on to beat Pitt, 8-1, Cornell, 6-3, and Army, 9-0, to reach the EIGA Championships in Atlantic City, N.J. In the first round of the finals, Penn State went on to beat a tough Georgetown squad by a score of 6-3. Penn

State had reached the championship match for the first time in school history. Penn State’s previous best finish at the EIGA Finals had been in 1947 where they finished in third. The 1948 squad, captained by Donald Hart, was not going to be denied the afternoon of May 15, 1948. The Nittany Lions came out hot and would not cool down. All six Lions would win their matches in dominating fashion and therefore also claim the three best-ball matches. They went on to shut out 21-time NCAA Champion, Yale, by a score of 9-0 and became the first Non-Ivy league school to win the EIGA Championship. Coach Boyle was a starting member of the 1948 team and remembered the history made by winning the EIGA with a twinkle in his eye. “We were so excited to win the Eastern Intercollegiate as those Ivy teams were awfully tough in those days,” Joe Boyle said. The team would go on to finish the season undefeated with a record of 10-0 and would go on to finish in 16th place at the NCAA championships in Palo Alto, Calif. The first Grant-in-Aid (Golf Scholarship) was awarded to Rod Eaken of Reading, Pa. In the early summer of 1950, a freshman to be, Eaken received some disheartening news. He had received a letter from Penn State advising that, due to budgetary restrictions, five sports had been discontinued. During the summer months there was at least one invitational golf tournament held each week at some of the best country clubs in the Philadelphia area. One of the weekly competitors in these invitationals was a Penn State alumnus and member of the Penn State Board of Directors: Fred Waring. Fred owned the famous Shawnee-on-the-Delaware resort and had his world famous band “The Pennsylvanians” based there. In June of 1950, while playing at Scranton Country Club, Eaken’s competitor that week was none other than Waring. During the round, Eaken approached Waring and asked him if he was aware that Penn State had dropped the golf team. Fred was outraged and said to, “Penn State will have a golf team if I have to pay for it myself.” Eaken, obviously elated, wondered Waring would actually do something. He had never heard another word from Waring but when he returned to school in September, the Golf Team had been reinstated. It was not until several years later that the other sports were reinstated. Rutherford Jr., continued to build upon the success of his father. In his inaugural season as coach, Rutherford Jr., led PSU senior Tommy Smith to the NCAA championship in New Mexico.

Penn State Golf History Although his teams did not claim an EIGA Championship, his teams finished the 1953 and 1955 seasons undefeated. In his seven-year span as head coach, Rutherford Jr., finished with a career mark of 50-13.

Coach Joe Boyle – Match Play to Medal In 1957, a new coach was named in Joe Boyle. Coach Boyle’s first day of work as the Penn State golf coach just happened to be the same day as that of legendary football coach Joe Paterno. Boyle worked as Rutherford Jr.’s assistant and was a member of the historic 1948 EIGA Championship team and captain of the 1949 team. Boyle wasted little time building off of Rutherford’s successes. In his first year as coach, his squad went 10-2 and finished second in the EIGA Championship. In his 25 years as head coach, Boyle’s teams won seven EIGA Championships, including back-to-back titles in 1963 and 1964, and a string of three from 1971-1973. He had a team or individual compete for Penn State at the National Championship in 19 of his 25 years with the team and had a best finish of 16th place in 1969. Boyle finished his coaching career with a dual match record of 197-38-1, which included seven undefeated seasons. He was an active member in the Golf Coaches Association of America and served as the associations’ President in 1967-68. Boyle was inducted in the GCAA Hall of Fame in 1987 and was the recipient of the GCAA’s highest award, The Honor Award, in 2007. The Honor Award which began in 1985 is awarded annually to a member of the GCAA Hall of Fame who is retired and has made a significant contribution to the game of golf. Boyle coached in an era that had a lot of change in collegiate golf. Part way through his coaching career intercollegiate golf gradually went away from traditional dual matches (Match Play) to stroke-play tournaments involving a number of teams. The Lions went from playing 10-15 dual-matches a year to 6-8 stroke play tournaments. One of the first and favorite tournaments that the Lion golfers became regular participants in was the Indiana (Pa.) Invitational played at the Indiana Country Club. The Lions claimed their first IUP title in 1964 and went on to win the title 10 out of the next 11 years. With the popularity of intercollegiate golf growing across the nation, districts were also created to select the top teams from various areas of the country. Under Boyle, the Lions were traditionally one of the top-ranked teams in District II, made up of the northern Mid-Atlantic States. William (Bill) Davidson is an important name in the history of Penn State golf. He became the program’s first-ever champion of the EIGA Championship and first All-American in 1959. In the 1958 EIGA Championship, Davidson beat teammate Johnny Felus in the

semifinals and went on to win the title the next day beating Ted Weiss of Yale. He was named team captain for the 1959 squad. In his career, Davidson qualified for the NCAA championship all three years he was a Nittany Lion (1957-59). He finished his career with a regular-season match-play record of 22-9. In the fall of 1969, a young freshman from Jamestown, N.Y. enrolled at Penn State. Dan O’Neill immediately made an impact becoming the Lions No. 1 man by mid spring of 1970 and finished in 12th place at the NCAA championship. That finish earned him All-America honors which he would achieve in each of his next three years with the Nittany Lions, becoming the first four-time All-American. In the summer of 1972, Dan O’Neill qualified for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and made the 36-hole cut. His cut-making putt was seen live across the nation on ABC. In the late 1960’s golf became so popular on the University Park campus, that administration decided to build a second golf course. The new course was named the “Blue” and was built on the far west portion of the campus property and had a separate entrance off of College Ave. The original campus course was renamed the “White” course. The Blue course would open in 1970 at a par of 72 and length of 7,010 yards. It had 87 bunkers and three ponds. The course was designed by the architecture firm of Harrison & Grabin and built by university employees. It became the primary course for all Penn State Intercollegiate competitions.

Kennedy Leads Lions to Atlantic 10 Dominance In January 1982, Mary Kennedy-Zierke, the women’s coach at the time, was promoted to head coach of the men & women’s teams following the retirement of Joe Boyle. “Fall” collegiate golf was now a norm and Coach Kennedy-Zierke led a number of successful teams in her 10 years as head coach. Kennedy, an outstanding teacher, developed several all-district players and guided the Lions to prominence in eastern golf her last five years with the program. She was named District II Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1991. Her teams claimed six Atlantic 10 Conference Championships, including five in a row from 1986-90. Through this period of Penn State golf , nearly all competition was still Eastern based. Through these years, Coach Kennedy’s team improved year after year, nearly always atop the leader board in District II competitions. Overall under Kennedy’s guidance the Lions won 19 events, and twice she was named District II Coach of the Year. The program was given a big lift in the mid 1980s when the massive indoor facility, Holuba Hall, was

completed. This free span structure covers two indoor 80-yard practice fields side-by-side. The 118,000-square foot facility, complete with the latest indoor turf surface, provided the Lions with a facility to get an early start on each spring. In 1992, with the development and expansion of the “West” Campus and the inconvenience of running the golf operation from two separate locations, both the Blue and White courses underwent a major facelift. The $1.5 million expansion was generated through the golf course facilities. The golf operation became more efficient with the renovation project of both courses would begin play from the Blue Course Pro Shop and eventually the Walker Clubhouse. Mark Kennedy coached the 1987 golf team to a second place finish at the Merril Lynch Invitational and a first place finish in the Eastern Championship. The 1979 men’s golf team under Joe Boyle won first place at the Wooster Invitational against 20 other teams. They also took first place at the Nittany Lion Open in a field of 19. The 1986-87 men’s golf season concluded with five first-place finishes and a 31st finish at the NCAA Championships.

Tombros Varsity Golf Clubhouse The Tombros Varsity Golf Clubhouse was dedicated on Sept. 3, 2010 and the next day both the men’s and women’s programs were able to utilize for the first time this spectacular facility build smack in the middle of the university golf course facilities. This clubhouse provides four coaches offices, locker and bag storage for both teams, a beautiful center core that combines the Nittany Lion foyer, academic space, and the magnificent living room with a fabulous floor to ceiling stone fireplace as a focal point. In addition to these space are two multi-function rooms with the” in to out” capable golf practice and work-out room on one side of the living room and a conference room on the other. This cabin feel, log construction clubhouse blends perfectly the natural mountain surrounding in Happy Valley, and is located directly in the middle of the Blue and White golf course, adjacent to the range, and short walk to both the private to team’s short game area or long game practice area.

Nye - Builds and Goes National in Scope On Aug, 28, 1992 it was announced that former Bowling Green head men’s and women’s coach, Greg Nye, would take over the men’s team from retiree men’s and women’s coach Mary Kennedy-Zierke and lead the Lion golfers in the Big Ten Conference. In 2017-18 | PENN STATE MEN'S GOLF

Penn State Golf History Nye’s first season as the Lions’ coach, he led them to six team championships, including the 1993 Eastern Championship. The Lions finished eighth in the Big Ten Championship and were the top-ranking team in District II. Eventually, they finished the season in a tie for 16th at the NCAA East Regional played in Charlottesville, Va. Freshman Dirk Ayers was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. The 1993-94 season was one for the record books. In Coach Nye’s second year at the helm, the Nittany Lions went on to claim eight tournament titles. Penn State was in its second year as a member of the Big Ten Conference and the Nittany Lions went to Madison, Wis. and finished in sixth place. When the newest edition of the Blue and White golf courses opened in 1994, golfers were greeted with completely new routings for both courses. The back nine of the Blue Course from the 1970 design became the current front nine and a new nine-holes, designed by Tom Clark, 1971 Penn State graduate, was built for the Blue Course as the back nine. The new Blue Course was completely opened for play on May 13, 1994 with a par of 72 and length of 6,525 yards. The White Course was reduced to 12 holes and six new holes were added, becoming a par-70, 6,008yard layout. With the NCAA regional system put into play in 1989 the Nittany Lions qualified annually for the NCAA east regional and reached the NCAA finals in 1996. The 1996 Nittany Lion team made history, becoming the first Northeast golf program to qualify for NCAA finals since regionals began. Adam Decker, a one time Penn State walk – on, nearly won the NCAA East Regional finishing second, and went on the following year to make the All America team. Following their historic achievement in the spring of 1996, the Lions wasted no time proving that they were once again the top team in District II. Like in 1994, the Nittany Lions captured a record eight tournament titles. With 29 team titles in six seasons, Penn State was dominating the Northeast and changed its schedule to a more national one. Over the next five seasons, the Lions traveled to such places as Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, California, Colorado and Hawaii. Though these years the Nittany Lions were lead by the program’s 13th All-American, Matt Abbott. The product of a more difficult schedule came together for the 2003-04 team. Early in the fall of 2003, the Nittany Lions captured three tournament titles in a row. The key to the schedule that season was winning the MacDonald Cup, hosted by Yale University. The Yale University GC was the host of the spring’s NCAA East Regional. After 36 holes of the Regional, the Nittany Lions were shocking the 42

college golf world. In the lead with 18 holes to play, the Lions ended up finishing second behind Clemson University. Nye’s team went on to beat No. 1-ranked Florida, as well as Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn and North Carolina. Two weeks later, the Lions would ride the momentum of their regional finish and become the first Northeast golf team of the stroke-play era to make the cut at the NCAA Finals. Mark Leon went on to finish in sixth place and became Penn State’s 14th All-American. In the spring of 2005, in order to compete with Big Ten Conference facilities, the Blue Course and varsity practice facilities underwent their most recent renovation and additions. The Blue Course was lengthened some 700 yards to 7,228 yards. Water hazards were added to holes two, three, five and 15. The most significant changes to the Blue Course occurred on holes seven and eight. Hole seven became 465 yards, par four and hole eight was reduced to 215 yards, par three. New tee boxes, two fairway bunkers, a pitch green, and practice bunker were added to the practice facilities located on the range. A new two-plus acre varsity short-game area was built for the teams behind the 14th green of the Blue Course. The area includes a 13,000-sq. ft. putting and chipping green and an 10,000 sq. ft. “impact” green, surrounded by three fairways and bunkers of four different styles. A big change occurred to college golf in the summer of 2007. The NCAA Golf Committee had decided to change the NCAA Regional qualification system. Districts no longer existed and qualifying for Regional play was now based purely on a team’s national rank.

Big National Wins Bring Highest Ranking In the fall of 2007, Indiana played host to the Wolf Run Intercollegiate where the Lions would knock off Big Ten rivals Indiana, Michigan and Northwestern, as well as SEC teams like Kentucky and Arkansas to claim the first of two consecutive wins. The confident Lions went to Richmond, Va., the next week and defended their VCU Shootout title. In that victory, Penn State knocked off perennial top-25 teams Wake Forest and North Carolina. Kevin Foley claimed the individual title with a 15-under-par performance. The following week the Lions received their highest-ever national ranking, at No. 6 in the nation. They were also named Golfweek Magazine “Team of the Week” for their recent play. The Lions would finish the regular season with a stunning head-to-head record of 119-15-0. At the Central Regional, led by a second-place finish from two time All-Big Ten selection Robert Rohanna, the Lions finished tied for eighth place and advanced on to the NCAA Finals hosted by Big Ten member

Purdue. After three rounds of play at the NCAA Finals, the Lions stood in 25th place of the 30 teams and would miss the 54-hole cut. Kevin Foley advanced as an individual to the final round and finished 23rd and became Penn State’s 15th All-American. Coach Nye was named Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year for the sixth time.

2013 U.S. Open Unique Connection to PSU As the 2013 US Open at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, quickly approached, its unique connection to Penn State became even more relevant. Scott Nye, brother of men’s golf head coach Greg Nye, is the host Head Golf Professional for this prominent sporting event. In addition, Penn State alumnus Matt Shaffer is the Director of Golf Course Operations at Merion. Shaffer has been heavily involved in the ongoing preparation of the course for the championship, which is to be held June 13-16. He has met every request of the USGA to update this course in order to best serve the world’s best professional golfers, all while overseeing the turfgrass care of the facilities. Scott Nye has been working hard as a spokesperson for Merion leading up to the event, including local presentations, daily interactions with members and guests, and media interviews nationwide. Nye has said the excitement in the surrounding Philadelphia areas is “off the charts” for the upcoming US Open. While the 2013 US Open and Penn State ties are evident, there is yet another reason the event’s location hits close to home for the Nittany Lion golf family. Assistant coach Mark Leon played at the Merion Golf Club in 2005 for the U.S. Amateur. He performed incredibly well on this nationally recognized course that was the pinnacle of professional golf when it welcomed the Open.

Rutherford Intercollegiate The Rutherford Intercollegiate, hosted by Penn State, has become one of the top events in the Northeast, annually featuring a top field of Eastern teams and several squads from around the nation.

R.B. "Pop" Rutherford

The 2017 Rutherford Intercollegiate was the 41st edition of the tournament. The Nittany Lions were co-champions with Georgetown. The tournament became known as the Rutherford Intercollegiate in 1983 to honor R.B. “Pop” Rutherford Sr., the man known to the Nittany Lions as the “father of Penn State golf.” Rutherford organized the first Penn State golf team in 1922 and coached it until 1949. R.B. Rutherford Jr. continued his father’s coaching tradition from 1950-1956 and furthered a legacy recalled each spring.

The Nittany Lions have dominated the Rutherford since it was established as the Nittany Lion Invitational in 1975, winning the tournament 25 times. Nineteen Penn State golfers have medaled atop the leaderboard, the last featuring Charles Hunzinger in 2016.

GROUNDBREAKING G 1996 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Ninth in East Regional, Nittany Lions Appear In 1996 NCAA Finals Following a solid regular season that included three tournament titles, the Nittany Lions peaked at the end of the 1996 spring term. After finishing second at the Eastern Championships and sixth at the Big Ten championships, Penn State surged at the NCAA East Regional, which was played on the Monster Course at the Concord Resort in Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. Facing the best teams in Eastern golf, the Nittany Lions came off the tee box with first-round ferocity, finishing in a five-way tie for seventh place after an opening round 310. Senior Adam Decker led with a two-over 74. In the second round, Penn State improved its team score by six strokes, but fell into a three-way tie for 15th — below the cut line that qualified the top 11 teams for the NCAA Finals. Decker fired a 71 to keep the Lions in contention. In the final round, the Nittany Lions ripped apart the Concord course, making shot after pivotal shot in a miraculous run that ended with a 296 — the thirdbest score of the day — to tie for ninth place and a berth in the NCAA Finals. Byron Clift, a junior, led the Lions with a final round 72. Decker shot a 74 to tie for second place on the individual leaderboard with a total 219, a monumen-

tal achievement for the senior, who came to the squad as a freshman walk-on. Seniors Dirk Ayers and Mike Banzhoff and sophomore Joey Chuasiriporn all finished with 75 for the final round and the three-round team total of 910 tied with Tennessee and Alabama. The Lions’ berth in the Finals was not only monumental for Penn State, but for the entire Eastern region as the Lions became the first team in the relatively short history of both Districts I and II to reach the Finals. For the first time since 1987, Penn State headed to the NCAA Finals, held in 1996 at the challenging Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn. Penn State played well, but failed to make the team cut after two rounds. Ayers led Penn State individually, making the individual cut and finishing in a tie for 47th place overall after an opening round 71. Penn State placed 29th overall as a team, which at the time was the top finish of any Big Ten team at the Finals.

Eleven of the 15 squads carded their highest tournament score in the third round, as the Nittany Lions fell from a 13th place tie to their final position of 15th, by far the best NCAA finish in the program’s 82-year history. Leon carded a 1-over 71 for a tournament total of 69-69-70-71-279 (-1). He finished the tournament in a sixth place tie overall and was one of just seven golfers to shoot par or better for the tournament. In making the 15-team cut, Penn State defeated three of the nation’s top 15 teams in the process (No. 2 and defending national champion Clemson, No. 4 Arizona State and No. 10 TCU). It was the second week in a row the Nittany Lions defeated some of the nation’s top teams to close out a spectacular postseason.

GOLF Penn State Second at NCAA East Regional The 2004 men’s golf team earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament after shocking the golf world with a second-place finish at the East Regional held in New Haven, Conn. The Nittany Lions fired a 10 over par 290 to hold fifth place after one round. Greg Pieczynski shot a one-over par 71 to help the Lions take a lead over five of the nation’s top 20 teams according to Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. The squad ended the second day of NCAA East Regional competition in first place among the 27-team field. The Lions shot five-over par for a total score of 575. Pieczynski led the Lions in their five-man field firing a 71 for the second consecutive day to sit two strokes over par. He held a tie for ninth place individually, while Ted Neville shot a 70 to finish the second round 3-over in a tie for 19th place. Penn State completed one of the greatest performances in program history on the final day of the tournament by finishing in second place in the field. The Nittany Lions, who entered the regional as the No. 19 seed, beat seven Top 20 teams to earn their first berth in the NCAA Finals since 1996. Pieczynski finished in a tie for fourth place after finishing with a total score of 211 (+1). Mark Leon shot a 216 (73-71-72), Marco Poccia shot a 219 (73-73-73), Neville had a 220 (73-70-77) and Jason Pannone shot a 226 (77-76-73). “It was just an enormous effort,” said Penn State head coach Greg Nye. “We had played well at the Big Tens and last weekend at the Maxwell and just continued to play even better. When the pressure was on, we got better. After finishing the first round in fifth place, we proved we were more than up to the task on Friday and again today. We beat some great programs head-to-head.”

“

Mark Leon golfed brilliantly throughout the NCAA Finals as all facets of his game were at a high level. Making the cut was a terrific achievement and very exciting for us as a team. I’m very proud we backed up our second-place finish at the regionals with a strong showing in the finals. Head Coach Greg Nye

Penn State University 2017-18 | PENN STATE MEN'S GOLF

Penn State University A LAND GRANT INSTITUTION Penn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, more than 71 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents. Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $8.5 billion annually. Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brings more than $530 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania each year, and an additional $83 million from private industry. Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually. The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledgling institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill LandGrant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. The lawmakers in effect

bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned land-grant universities in other states. By the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and Professor Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905. In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. Enrollment surpassed 5,000 students by 1936, including those attending several undergraduate centers that were created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors of today’s statewide system of campuses. Thanks to this innovative approach to higher education, Penn State in the 1930s became Pennsylvania’s largest single source of baccalaureate degrees, a distinction it holds to this day. Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970.

Penn State University The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. The Graduate School has awarded to date approximately 130,000 master’s, doctoral and other advanced degrees. The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; Penn State Law: Dickinson Law; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus. To date, Penn State has awarded more than 800,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 340,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass. Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania. H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a oneman campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot. Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore,

Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

LION SHRINE Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke. The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

BLUE & WHITE Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s official colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP SANDY BARBOUR

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY, ’81 (B.A.) MASSACHUSETTS, ’83 (M.S.), NORTHWESTERN, ’91 (M.B.A.)

Sandy Barbour began her leadership of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program in August 2014 and she has rapidly made a dynamic impression on one of the nation’s most successful and comprehensive athletic departments. President Eric J. Barron named Barbour the Nittany Lions’ ninth Director of Athletics after serving 10 years as Director of Athletics at the University of California. Barbour brought to Penn State more than 30 years of varied experiences as a collegiate administrator and coach, with a demonstrated record of championships, academic success, innovation, facility modernization and revenue growth. She directs one of the nation’s most comprehensive and successful athletic programs that boasts an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of 89 percent, with 31 sports and an Intercollegiate Athletics staff of approximately 300, whose mantra is preparing students for a lifetime of impact. It did not take long for Barbour to begin implementing her vision for Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics and creating conditions for success for the department’s “Why” — the approximately 800 Nittany Lion student-athletes. Six months after arriving at Penn State, she announced a reorganization of ICA that introduced a more vertical structure to encourage communication and collaboration across functional units and sports. Four administrative divisions were formed: student-athlete performance, health and welfare; internal and external operation, administration and business and finance.

Midway through 2015, Penn State Athletics launched a wide-ranging strategic planning process and conducted a series of town hall meetings. Students, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and the public were presented with some of the initial findings of the project and had an opportunity to provide feedback. The project helped determine strategies and priorities for the formalized 2017-21 strategic plan. Penn State student-athletes have delivered record-setting academic performances during Barbour’s initial three years, including the five highest semester 3.0 grade-point average totals in school history. During the 2016 fall semester, a school record 24 Penn State squads, powered by 498 studentathletes, earned at least a 3.0 grade-point average. A total of 223 Nittany Lion students posted at least a 3.5 GPA last fall to garner Dean’s List honors. A school record 114 student-athletes graduated this past May, bringing the 2016-17 total to 142 graduates. Under Barbour’s leadership, 18 Penn State squads earned perfect NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores of 1,000 in 2015-16, up from 13 the previous year. A school record 299 student-athletes garnered Academic All-Big Ten accolades in 2015-16 and 2016-17, including record totals among the winter and spring/at-large sports the past two years. Five student-athletes were selected CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2016-17 and Nittany Lion students combined to spend more than 6,200 hours involved in community engagement. During Barbour’s tenure, 12 Nittany Lion student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades to keep Penn State among the nation’s top five nationally in all-time honorees. In 1996, Barbour was appointed Tulane’s director of athletics at age 36, and during her three years overseeing the program, Green Wave teams won 12 conference championships. In her first year in the position, the school captured four conference titles, a feat never before accomplished in Tulane history. She also hired Tommy Bowden as head football coach during her first year. Bowden proceeded in 1997 to post the Green Wave’s first winning season (74) in 16 years, and then directed the school to a 12-0 record, a Conference USA championship and a No. 7 national ranking the following season as the 1998 Liberty Bowl champions. Barbour was recruited to Tulane as an associate athletic director in 1991. Born in Annapolis, Md., Barbour grew up in a military family. Her father was a career aviator in the U.S. Navy, and her family lived in various U.S. locations as well as in Western Europe during her childhood. Barbour graduated cum laude in 1981 with a B.S. degree in physical education from Wake Forest University, where she was a four-year letterwinner and served as captain of the field hockey team. She also played two seasons of women’s basketball for the Demon Deacons. Barbour earned advanced degrees at the University of Massachusetts (an M.S. in sports management in 1983) and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management (an MBA in 1991). Barbour’s career in intercollegiate athletics began as a field hockey assistant coach and lacrosse administrative assistant at Massachusetts in 1981. Between master’s programs, Barbour served as assistant field hockey and lacrosse coach at Northwestern from 1982-84. She also held the position of director of recruiting services during that period, before being promoted to assistant athletic director for intercollegiate programs in 1984, a position she held until 1989. Prior to joining Tulane, Barbour worked in programming and production for FOX Sports Net in Chicago during the summer of 1990. 2017-18 | PENN STATE MEN'S GOLF
