PENN STATE GOLF COURSES Penn State’s Blue and White Golf Courses are the home of Penn State Golf with the Blue Course offering a par 72, 7,197-yard layout from the championship tees following a major renovation and redesign in 2007. The Big Ten Conference is well known for the outstanding caliber of its university-owned golf courses, and with the updates and improvements to the Blue Course, it 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 renovated Blue Course hosted its first major amateur event, the 2009 Big Ten Men’s Golf Championship, and was very well received by coaches and players alike. 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 a 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. The 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.”

GREG

NYE HEAD COACH COLLEGE OF WOOSTER ’79 (B.S.) 28TH SEASON AT PENN STATE

In his 28th year as Penn State head men’s golf and 36th season overall as a head coach, Greg Nye has guided the Nittany Lions to national prominence, while bolstering the program’s reputation as a perennial power in eastern collegiate golf. Five appearances in the NCAA Finals in 1996, 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2017 are major highlights of Nye’s highly respected career as the longest-tenured coach in Penn State men’s golf history. For the third-straight year and 11th time in his tenure, Nye was selected the Golf Pride Grips Northeast Region Coach of the Year by the Golf Coaches Association of American (GCAA) following the 2017-18 season. The honor was well-deserved as the Nittany Lions recorded nine top-five finishes in their 11 tournaments that season and won team titles at the Windon Memorial in Chicago, the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate and Rutherford Intercollegiate. Penn State also captured a fourth-place team finish in the Big Ten Championships while Cole Miller placed second among individuals, matching the highest-ever finish by a Nittany Lion. The Nittany Lions made their fourth-straight appearance in an NCAA Regional in 2018, with Penn State one of only four Big Ten Conference teams to accomplish that feat. Under Nye’s purview, the Nittany Lions have done it twice, with consecutive trips in 20152018 and previously in 2007-2010. The 2018-19 season witnessed five top-five tournament finishes which included the Rod Myers Invitational team title in fall 2018, a 19th Rutherford Intercollegiate championship and the Challenge at Champions trophy. For the first time in program history, Penn State had Nittany Lions selected for All-Northeast Region honors all four years of their careers in back-to-back seasons.

EASTERN GOLF CONTRIBUTIONS

One of the most significant contributions Nye has made to Penn State and eastern collegiate golf came in the 1995-96 season when the Nittany Lions became the first-ever Northeastern or MidAtlantic team to advance to the NCAA Finals since the regional format was established in 1987. Penn State made a statement with a ninth-place 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 No. 1-ranked Florida Gators. The Nittany Lions went on to finish 15th among the 30-team field at the NCAA Finals, making Penn State golf history with its highest team and individual finish with Mark Leon capturing sixth.

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. Nye led Penn State to a fifth-place team finish in the 2017 NCAA Washington Regional to advance into the NCAA Finals in Sugar Grove, Ill. The second Nittany Lion to ever win an NCAA Regional, Cole Miller, claimed the individual title, shooting 7-under par to win by three strokes. The Blue & White would go on to finish in a tie for 24th in the NCAA Championships.

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. The longest tenured Nye’s career coaching win total now stands at 71. 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, 2001-2002 and 2015-16, his teams led the nation with three Golf Coaches Association of America All-America 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 gradepoint average over 3.5. At Penn State, the Nittany Lions have consistently achieved a team GPA greater than 3.00. In 2000-01, 2013-14 and 2014-15, 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 28 GCAA All-America Scholars and each year he has seen a high percentage of the team rewarded for academic achievements with Academic All-Big Ten honors, now with 130 student-athletes receiving those laurels. Nye’s teams have continually ranked near or at the top of the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast Region. His teams have qualified for the NCAA Championship Regional 22 times, with a current streak of four-straight NCAA Regional appearances (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018), one of only four Big Ten teams with that distinction. Nye and his Nittany Lions have now down it twice with an earlier skein of four coming in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2011, then-senior T.J. Howe competed individually at the Virginia Tech Regional. In 2017, Nye guided Penn State to its fifth and most recent NCAA Championship Finals appearance. His squads also won the Eastern Championship three straight seasons, 1994, 1995, and in 1997. In addition to the accolades he has received as a coach, Nye has tutored 78 NCAA All-Region players, five Mid-Atlantic Region PlayGoPSUsports.com

Nye was also inducted into the Wooster High School Hall of Fame in 2009.

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.

RUTHERFORD INTERCOLLEGIATE

APRIL 13-14, 2019 | UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. | BLUE COURSE, PENN STATE GOLF COURSES | PAR 71 • 7,119 YDS STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State won its fifth-straight Rutherford Intercollegiate team title with a final-round 290 for a 3-over 855 total at the Penn State Blue Course. The 855 54-hole total on the 7,219-yard layout for Penn State was second only to the tournament record 844 the Nittany Lions achieved in 2018. UConn’s Drake Hull posted a third-round 68 for a 5-under 208 total to claim the 2019 Rutherford Intercollegiate individual title. “Our team knew they were playing against so many capable teams and had to play very well to win,” said Penn State head men’s golf coach Greg Nye. “They worked hard in practice and qualifying and it showed up big time today. We got the worst of today’s weather and they just played well through it.” Penn State held onto the lead despite a strong final-round effort from West Virginia (283) and a tournament-low round of 66 from Mountaineer Matthew Sharpstene to move into third place. Eastern Michigan was second overall with a 5-over 857 after posting identical 283 team scores in the first two rounds on Saturday. Junior Ryan Davis had 12 birdies through the three-round tournament with a 3-under 210 (70-70-70). He made the turn at 2-under and finished his round in a hard, driving rain. He made par on his last four holes to secure the win for the Nittany Lions. “Ryan Davis lead us in qualifying and did it again in the Rutherford,” Nye said. “He came through down the stretch as the last into the house to secure the team win. Lou had worked hard all winter and qualified very well last week and he, like Ryan (Davis), had an awesome Rutherford.”

Playing as an individual, Nittany Lion sophomore Louie Olsakovsky tied for fourth with two others with a 2-under 211 (72-67-72). Senior JD Hughes finished in a tie for 16th with a 5-over 218 (76-68-83). Senior Charles Huntzinger and junior Alec Bard tied with two others for 19th, each with 5-over 218 totals to round out the top-20 scoring for Penn State. Senior Ryan Dornes moved up 13 spots with a final-round 71 to finish in a tie for 28th at 220 (74-75-71, +7). Pos

KEPLER INTERCOLLEGIATE

APRIL 19-20, 2019 | COLUMBUS, OHIO | SCARLET COURSE | PAR 71 • 7,455 YDS COLUMBUS, Ohio — Penn State trimmed 20 strokes off its first-round team score for a 281 total in the second and final round of the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate. With a 582 total for the event (301-281=582), the Nittany Lions finished one stroke behind No. 40 Florida and eight strokes behind leader No. 45 Ohio State, tying with Rutgers for fourth place. Rainy weather and wet conditions shortened the first day’s competition to a single round and the second day’s forecast forced tournament officials to alter the event to two rounds with just one round. For the Nittany Lions, it was their third-straight top-five finish at the Kepler Intercollegiate after taking third and fourth in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Junior Alec Bard posted his best finish of the year as his 1-under 70 boosted him to into a tie for 17th with a 146 for his two rounds (76-70=146). Coming in with a 1-under 70 in his second round of play, senior Ryan Dornes tied for 21st with teammate junior Ryan Davis. Davis carded a 1-over 72 Saturday and totaled 177 (75-72=147) for the event. Senior Charles Huntzinger recorded a 3-over 74 Saturday and 150 (7674=150) and finished in a tie for 33rd.

“We came out and competed hard today,” said Penn State men’s head golf coach Greg Nye. “It was a super tough, cold, rain swept day Friday, thus all scores were higher. Today there was very little wind and play was modified greatly to accommodate a very wet golf course.”

T-4 Penn State

Senior JD Hughes moved up four spots on Saturday to claim his sixth career top-five finish with a 2-under 69 and 1-over 143 (74-69=143) for the tournament. “JD played steady and had another quality event, highlighted by driving it on the 18 green and holing a 45 foot putt for eagle,’ Nye said.

The team’s 834 (6-under) for a 54-hole tournament is tied for the fourth-lowest in program history and was bolstered by a record low for 18 holes with a 269 in the first round. “We got off to a slow start, but righted the ship while battling the gusty wind and tougher hole locations,” said Penn State men’s golf coach Greg Nye. “Our finish today was outstanding. I believe we played the last five holes two or three under and they are all challenging golf holes. I give a lot of credit to the fight in our team today.” Leading the Nittany Lions at the tournament was senior Ryan Davis (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) with a career-best 207 for the three-round event. He carded an even final round (70) to finish 15th. Junior Lukas Clark (Holland, Pa.) made the biggest move on Tuesday with a career low 68 (2-under) to tie for 16th place overall, his top finish as a collegian. His 54-hole total of 208 was also a career best.

BEARCAT INVITATIONAL

SEPT. 30-OCT. 1, 2019 | CINCINNATI, OHIO | COLDSTREAM COUNTRY CLUB | PAR 71 • 7,111 YDS CINCINNATI, Ohio – Penn State posted its third-straight top-five finish at the Bearcat Invitational with an 855 score (6-over) for fourth place. Kentucky slid into the No. 3 spot on the final day as Penn State shot a 6-over 290. Senior Ryan Davis and junior Lukas Clark moved up two spots with their final-round scores. Davis carded a 4-under 209 to move into a tie for sixth, his top finish of the fall. Clark tied his career low in the second round Monday and was 1-under in the final round for a 3-under 210 (73+67+70). “We got outstanding play from Lukas Clark and Ryan Davis,” said Penn State head men’s golf coach Greg Nye. “We kept fighting hard as a team through some very tough stretches which led to some bounce-back holes. We were able to get two new players initiated to college level play which is super important to this team as we continue to grow.” The Louisville Cardinals won the event’s team title by 26 strokes with a 37-under 815. John Murphy of Louisville shot a 63 in the final round to win the individual title with a 17-under 196. Competing as an individual, sophomore Ryan Lee duplicated his 72 from the second round in the final round for a 4-over 217 (73+73+73) for his best collegiate round.

A tough score, a 7-over 78 in the final round, and 5-over 218 for the tournament, pushed senior Alec Bard into a tie for 35th. Junior Louis Olsakovsky partially recovered his front-nine score with back-to-back birdies, but he finished the day with a 5-over 76 and 222 total to tie for 49th. In his first collegiate event, freshman Patrick Sheehan dropped his score to 74 (3-over) and a 225 (75+76+74) overall for a tie for 60th. Pos

2019 FALL RESULTS

BANK OF TENNESSEE INTERCOLLEGIATE OCT. 11-13, 2019 | JONESBOROUGH, TENN. | BLACKTHORN CLUB AT THE RIDGES | PAR 72 • 7,147 YDS

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. – Penn State senior Ryan Davis tied his career best with a 6-under 66 in the final round of the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate. Davis tied his career-best mark achieved in the third round at this same event in fall 2018. Davis had six birdies en route to the second-best score of the final round and finished in a tie for 15th with a three-round 210 total (71-73-66, 6-under). The Nittany Lions had their best team score in the final round with a 286, but couldn’t catch up to the leaders as five teams posted final scores of 20 or more strokes under par. “We are not an experienced team outside of (seniors) Alec and Ryan, and it showed up throughout the tournament,” said Penn State men’s golf coach Greg Nye. “On a golf course that required under par golf to be competitive in this field, we just got in our own way consistently by making big errors or pesky little ones that negated any decent runs we got going.” No. 12 Louisville grabbed the top spot from host East Tennessee State in the final round with a 276 and 830 (34-under) total score. Penn State finished with a 1-under 863 (287-290-286) for 12th. Jack Rhea, of ETSU, captured the individual title with a 15-under 201. Senior Alec Bard tied for 32nd with a 2-under 214 (69+71+74), adding two more birdies for a weekend total of 10. Junior Lukas Clark bounced back on his back nine, going 2-under for a 75 (3-over) in the final round. He tied for 63rd.

Freshman Brady Pevarnik carded his best round on Saturday and scored a 75 (3-over) on Sunday for a 222 total (74+73+75, 6-over) in his first collegiate tournament and tied for 67th. Putting together back-to-back solid rounds, junior James McHugh rebounded from a tough first day with a 1-under 71 in the final round. His six birdies on in the final round helped him finish the event at 226 for a tie for 71st. Freshmen Ben Smith, competing as an individual in his first collegiate event, had his best effort in the final round with a 2-over 74. His 228 total placed him in a tie for 76th. Pos

UNCG/GRANDOVER COLLEGIATE

OCT. 27-28, 2019 | GREENSBORO, N.C. | EAST COURSE, GRANDOVER RESORT | PAR 72 • 7,270 YDS GREENSBORO, N.C. – Penn State collected its fourth top-five finish of the fall 2019 season at the UNCG/Grandover Collegiate. The Nittany Lions moved up a spot with a one-stroke advantage in the final round for fifth place with a three-round 894 total (296-307-302, 30-over).

Senior Ryan Davis had the best round for the Nittany Lions on the final day with a 72 for even par. He finished in a tie for 31st with a 230 total (75-83-72, 14-over). Junior James McHugh (Rye, N.Y.) also earned a tie for 31st with a 230 (74-76-80, 14-over).

“It was good to get our fourth top-five finish this fall with this new group of starters,” said Penn State men’s golf coach Greg Nye. “We had to regroup as a team after round two as the Bermuda rough greenside and grain on the greens gave us fits throughout. I give the guys a lot of credit for their effort today.”

Junior Lukas Clark matched his first-round score to move up five spots with a 236 (77-82-77, 20-over) to tie for 57th.

Senior Alec Bard tied for 11th with a 221 final score (73-71-77, 5-over) after firing the Nittany Lions’ best round of the tournament with a 1-under 71 (2nd). “Alec overcame some adversity early in the round by fighting back making four birdies and key par saves over his last 11 holes,” Nye said. “His creative side came shining through.”

Host UNCG won the tournament for the second-straight year with a 12over 876 total and Nick Lyerly of UNCG carded a 71 in the final round for individual medalist honors. Pos

MICHAEL CARTER LEGACY | IN MEMORIAM

Above: The red maple tree, which was planted by near the 18th hole of the Blue Course Below: Flowers and a pictorial were placed in memoriam at the Penn State Golf Course Club House.

MIKE CARTER’S LEGACY LIVES ON WITH TREE AND SCHOLARSHIP The Penn State golf family continues to honor the memory 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 he was in an automobile accident and died. 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.

PENN STATE 2019-20 • MEN’S GOLF


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 successfully in the sport and pursue their dreams of playing in the professional ranks. Recent graduate and former Nittany Lion Cole Miller finished 25th in his first season on Canada’s Mackenzie Tour’s Order of Merit, which earned him an exemption into the second stage of Web.com Qualifying School. He begins his second year as a professional on the Web.com Tour in 2019. While 2013 was a milestone year with Kevin Foley earning status on the PGA Tour, there were many players before who 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. A three-time All-American, Foley graduated in 2010 and adjusted quickly to the pro game, enjoying an unprecedented rise through the ranks. Foley’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, Foley focused his attention back to the Web.com Tour where a fifth-place finish at the Web.com Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational earned him enough money to gain status for the remainder of the year. Foley finished the year with $119,000 in earnings, giving him full status on Web.com for 2013. In 2013, he 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, Foley and former Nittany Lion T.J. Howe were the first alumni to represent Penn State in the event since 1999. Foley is currently playing on the Web.com Tour. T.J. Howe is a 2011 graduate who enjoyed a successful career after leaving the Lions. A 2010 All-American selection, Howe racked up 11 professional wins and multiple appearances on the Web.Com and PGA Tours, including a start in the 2015 Wells Fargo Championship. Based in the southeastern United States, the EGolf Tour is regarded by many as the most competitive mini-tour in the United States. Between 2012 and 2016, Howe won five times on the EGolf Tour and finished in the top five of the money list three times. He enjoyed Web.Com and Mackenzie Tour status in 2016. Howe qualified for his first U.S. Open in 2016 at Oakmont Country Club. Most recently, in 2017, Howe won the prestigious Frank B. Fuhrer Invitational in Pittsburgh, Pa.

J.D. Dornes, a 2016 graduate, burst on to the professional golf scene after enjoying one of the best golf careers in Penn State history. Dornes has already tasted success in professional golf, having won the 2017 Maine Open by two shots. Only weeks later, Dornes opened up the Pennsylvania Open with a sizzling course record 62 at Gulph Mills GC. He would go on to finish runner-up in the event. Dornes also competed on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in 2017. He is in his second season of Web.Com Tour membership. Robert Rohanna has enjoyed success as a pro since leaving Happy Valley in 2008, and it looks as though his best golf is ahead of him. He won the 2010 and 2016 Pennsylvania Opens. Known for his tremendous length and deft touch around the greens, Rohanna is always poised to make the jump to the Web.Com Tour. He 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. Rohanna capped his successful NGA Tour campaign by earning full status on PGA Tour Latinoamerica, where the top five money earners gain Web.com Tour membership. Injuries in recent seasons have held him out of competition for long stretches. A healthy Rohanna will look to pick up where he left off 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 secon]nd 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 in 2011. In the summer of 2017, Leon took the assistant coaching job at the University of Florida where he looks to continue a storied tradition with the Gators. 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 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.

LIONS ON TOUR Adam Decker (1996) is entering his 14th season as the head coach for the University of Richmond, 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, had a successful career on the Canadian Tour. 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, N.C.. 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 and made 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.

PENN STATE 2019-20 • MEN’S GOLF

Danny O’Neill ’72, a four-time All-American during his Nittany Lion career, is the only Penn Stater to qualify for both the U.S. Open (1985) and U.S. Senior Open (2001). 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 finishing 4th at the final stage. In his rookie year on tour (2002), O’Neill 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. 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).

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 NonIvy 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.

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.

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.

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

“We were so excited to win the Eastern Intercollegiate as those Ivy teams were awfully tough in those days,” Joe Boyle said.

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. 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 GoPSUsports.com

PENN STATE GOLF HISTORY 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 dualmatches 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 MidAtlantic 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, 34

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 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,


PENN STATE GOLF HISTORY 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, 6,008-yard 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 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-tohead 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 54hole 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.

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.

Nittany Lion Postseason Success Penn State would attract attention on a national scale again in 2017 when the Nittany Lions posted one of their best finishes in the Big Ten Conference Championship with a tie for fourth place. Charles Hunzinger (t-4) and Cole Miller (t-6) would secure places in the top 10 as Penn State improved two spots on the final day. Days later, Penn State would learn its NCAA Regional destination as the Nittany Lions would make their 23rd regional appearance as a program and 20th under head coach Greg Nye. The Nittany Lions were the No. 48 overall seed heading into NCAA Regionals and would compete at the Washington Regional with the likes of topranked USC, Kent State, a No. 2 seed, and No. 12 in the nation, and Texas A&M, at the three seed, and 13th in the country, as opponents. In sixth after the first day, the Nittany Lions relied on the steady play of Miller, who carded a two-under 69 for sixth place overall. Huntzinger tallied a 72 in first-round play. Miller duplicated his performance in the second round with another 2-under 69 while Ryan Davis moved up 29 spots into a tie for 16th with his 69 on day two. Miller tallied a third round of under-par score with a 68 to win the regional’s individual championship at 7-under, just the second Nittany Lion to accomplish that feat. For Penn State, it would be its fifth trip to the NCAA Championship where the Nittany Lions, the lowest-seeded squad in the 30-team field, tied Lipscomb for 24th place. Five teams seeded higher finished behind Penn State as it finished with a 27-over 891 over the three rounds. The Nittany Lions improved four spots on the final day with freshman Ryan Davis recording a two-over 218 (76-71-71) to lead Penn State. Miller posted a 219 total.

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. GoPSUsports.com

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. The Nittany Lions have dominated the Rutherford since it was established as the Nittany Lion Invitational in 1975, winning the tournament 27 times. Twenty Penn State golfers have medaled atop the leaderboard, the last was Cole Miller, a Nittany Lion senior from New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, in 2018. The 2019 Rutherford Intercollegiate was the 43rd edition of the tournament. The Nittany Lions won the championship, with a team score of 855, winning the event on the final hole of the final round on a rainy Sunday. 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.”

R.B. “Pop” Rutherford, Sr. "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.

GROUNDBREAKING

PENN STATE GOLF 1996 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Ninth in East Regional, Nittany Lions Appear in 1996 NCAA Finals Following a 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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 third-best score of the day — to tie for ninth place and a berth in the NCAA Finals.

For the first time since 1987, Penn State headed to the NCAA Finals, held 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.

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 monumental achievement for the senior, who came

— HEAD COACH GREG NYE

Penn State Second at 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.” 38

2017 NCAA WASHINGTON REGIONAL Miller Captures Regional’s Individual Title

Penn State finished fifth at the Washington Regional to secure its first appearance in the NCAA Championship since 2010 and fifth under the guidance of Nittany Lion head coach Greg Nye. Junior Cole Miller recorded his third consecutive sub-par round, a 3-under 68, to win the individual championship at 7-under, his fifth individual title of the 2016-17 and becoming the second Nittany Lion to win an NCAA Regional. Freshman Ryan Davis matched Miller’s last two rounds of 69 and 68 to finish tied for eighth at 1-under. No. 1 USC 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.

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.”

— HEAD COACH GREG NYE

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY

THE MISSION

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 70 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 $17 billion annually. Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brought more than $534 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania last year, and an additional $91 million from private industry. In addition, as part of its Invent Penn State initiative, the University has funded 21 innovation hubs, designed to bolster entrepreneurship and economic development in communities surrounding its campuses across Pennsylvania. 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 BEGINNING

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 Land-Grant 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 2019-20 • MEN’S GOLF

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.

THE 20TH CENTURY

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.

POST WORLD WAR II

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. 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.

TODAY

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 840,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 348,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.


UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

ERIC J.

BARRON PRESIDENT FLORIDA STATE ’72 (B.S.) UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ’76 (M.S.) UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ’80 (Ph.D.)

President Eric J. Barron took the helm of Pennsylvania’s flagship public university on May 12, 2014, arriving from Florida State University, where he had been president for four years. No stranger to Happy Valley, he had previously spent 20 years of his career at Penn State, serving on the faculty of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and as dean of the college.Barron has nearly 40 years of leadership experience in academic administration, education, research and public service, and a track record as a talented manager of fiscal policy within large and complex institutions. In recognition of his expertise and leadership in higher education, he was named chairman of the Commission on Economic and Community Engagement (CECE) for the Association of Public Land-grant Universities (APLU) in fall 2017. He also serves on the Board of Directors for APLU, and Kish Bancorp, Inc.; the Board of Trustees for University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and Universities Research Association (URA); and he is a member of the Knight Commission and the College Football Playoff Board of Managers. As leader of Penn State, Barron oversees a research enterprise of more than $920 million and 24 campus locations. His responsibilities include oversight of two law schools, the internationally recognized online educational enterprise known as the Penn State World Campus, and a nearly $2 billion health enterprise, including the Penn State College of Medicine, the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and the Penn State Health network, which extends throughout Central Pennsylvania. Penn State’s current enrollment is approximately 99,000 students, and the University boasts the world’s largest dues-paying alumni association in the world.

During his tenure as president of Penn State, Barron has prioritized access and affordability; diversity and inclusion; student engagement; economic development; job creation and student career success; and technology. He is focused on helping Penn State fulfill its land-grant mission as a modern university, and supports “One Penn State 2025,” an initiative to reimagine student learning and support services across all campuses to boost student success, engagement with the University, and the efficient use of its resources. Under Barron’s leadership, Penn State has achieved record-setting results in the University’s fundraising campaign, A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence. Penn State has now raised more than $1 billion of the $1.6 billion goal. That puts the University among only 11 institutions in the U.S. to have raised $1 billion or more in three or more campaigns – including Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and Big Ten peers Illinois and Michigan. Barron’s Invent Penn State initiative supports investment in entrepreneurship and innovation programs, tools and resources that accelerate the movement of great ideas to the marketplace and make a substantial economic development impact in Pennsylvania and beyond. Since its inception in 2015, Invent Penn State has partnered with the University’s campuses across the Commonwealth to open 21 innovation hubs available to the surrounding communities. These hubs have aided nearly 2,000 entrepreneurs; engaged more than 5,000 faculty, staff and students with 170 new product development projects; created more than 45 new companies in Pennsylvania with more than 424 new jobs and internships; generated nearly $800,000 in in-kind support; and brought in more than $4.5 million in external matched/leveraged funds. Barron earned a bachelor of science degree in geology at Florida State in 1973 before moving on to the University of Miami, where he earned master’s and doctoral degrees in oceanography. At Penn State, Dr. Barron served as dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences from 2002-06, and as founding director of the Earth System Science Center, one of the first major initiatives focused on the total study of Earth as a system. He also had a simultaneous appointment as director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Environment Institute. In 1999, he was named Distinguished Professor of Geosciences at Penn State. An accomplished scientist with a long background in atmospheric research, Barron served as director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and as dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Early in his career he was a postdoctoral research fellow and scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Co.

NORTHWESTERN ’91 (M.B.A) With student success and comprehensive excellence as a steadfast focus, Sandy Barbour enters her sixth year as the dynamic leader of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletic program. Barbour has helped the Nittany Lions continue to ascend and thrive as one of the nation’s most successful athletic departments. Barbour has more than 35 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 began her passionate and effective leadership of the Penn State Athletic program in August 2014, when she was named the Nittany Lions’ ninth Director of Athletics by President Eric J. Barron. In February 2019, Barbour received a contract extension through August 31, 2023, and assumed the title of Penn State Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. Nittany Lions Students are the “Why” for Penn State Athletics Barbour began implementing her vision for Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics and creating conditions for success for the department’s “Why” – the more than 800 Nittany Lion student-athletes. She oversees a broad-based program that supports students competing in 31 sports and a staff of more than 300 individuals whose daily mission is preparing students for a lifetime of impact. A reorganization of ICA introduced four administrative divisions: student-athlete performance, health and welfare; internal and external relations and operations, administration and business and finance. Barbour also announced a wide-ranging strategic planning process to determine strategies and priorities for the formalized 2017-21 strategic plan. Excellence in Academics and Athletics Penn State student-athletes have consistently raised the bar and broken or tied school academic records in the last five years, including the number of Academic All-Big Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar recipients in 2018-19. Spring 2019 concluded with another record as the Nittany Lions delivered a 3.17 grade-point average for the semester. Eighteen Nittany Lions have earned CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades during Barbour’s tenure, boosting Penn State’s all-time total to 205, No. 4 nationally among Division I institutions. In November 2018, the NCAA reported its annual national graduation rates study, and, for the second-straight year, Penn State studentathletes tied a school record with a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 90 percent. Eight Nittany Lion teams earned a perfect 100 percent GSR.

AD of the Year Recipient in 2016-17 and Finalist in 2018 Barbour’s leadership was recognized with her selection for the prestigious National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour AD of the Year Award in 2016-17. Twice Barbour has been named a finalist for Sports Business Journal’s prestigious Athletic Director of the Year, most recently in 2018. Forbes also has recognized Barbour among the top executives in sports. In 2018, she was selected No. 13 among the Most Powerful Women in Sports and No. 2 overall in college sports. In 2015, Forbes named her one of the Top 25 Most Powerful People in College Sports, noting Barbour “has developed a reputation for being one of the most forward-thinking administrators in all of college sports.” Barbour is a member of the NCAA Football Oversight Committee, and in 2017, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) appointed her as one of the inaugural members of its Collegiate Advisory Council. A Path of Successful Leadership Serving as the Director of Athletics at Cal from 2004-14, Barbour guided the Golden Bears through one of the most successful periods in school history. Twenty team national championships, 97 individual national titles, and six top-10 finishes, including No. 3 in 2011, in the annual Learfield Directors’ Cup standings were highlights of her tenure. Barbour was the deputy director of athletics at Notre Dame, the senior athletic administrator from July 2002 to September 2004. She oversaw facilities and event operations was also responsible for developing, maintaining and implementing the university’s $127 million athletics facilities master plan. In 1996, Barbour was appointed Tulane’s director of athletics at age 36.
