2012 Outlook

A Noteable Career in Review

The 2011-12 season marks a season of change for the men’s golf pro-gram. As the team said farewell to senior T.J. Howe, it welcomed two freshmen and a new assistant coach to the squad.

At the close of the 2010-11 season, Howe concluded a storied four-year career on the golf team. The talented golfer captured a spot on the all-time career scoring leader board with a 73.79 round average in the 136 rounds he participated in. He now sits tied for fifth with former Nittany Lion and new assistant coach Mark Leon.

Since his freshman season, Howe participated in all regular-season tour-naments. He also played in four NCAA Regional tournaments, three in which he competed with his team and one in which he competed as an individual.

Throughout his career, Howe was honored multiple times for his achieve-ments both on the golf course and in the classroom. Howe earned 2010 GCAA All-America recognition, the seventh honored for Coach Nye, All-Region Team Selection in 2008 and 2010, and Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2007-10.

After college, Howe went on to compete professionally. In November, he brought acclaim to his alma mater when he secured his first professional title on the NGA Pro Golf Tour.

New Talent Meets Veterans

Returning to the lineup for the 2011-12 campaign are four golfers who competed in more than half of the tournaments contested last season, in-cluding senior Tommy McDonagh and a trio of juniors - Anthony DeGol, Ernesto Marin and Jay Woodward. Also back for the Nittany Lions are seniors Nick Archambault and John Burke, junior Matt Porter and sopho-more Shane Stewart.

Two talented freshmen joined the eight-man roster to finalize the team with a 10-man lineup. Jens Talbert of Little Rock, Ark., and Xander Mc-Donald-Smith of Rockaway Park, N.Y., proved to be strong competitors for their high school teams, drawing the attention of top colleges throughout the nation. Golfweek ranked both athletes the No. 5 junior players in their respective states for the 2011 class.

New Guidance

Having played for Penn State from 2001-05, assistant coach Mark Leon is unquestionably familiar with the program. Leon sits tied for fifth on the all-time career scoring list, having held a 73.79 round average in his four years. While at Penn State, Leon earned All-Big Ten honors in 2005, 2004 GCAA All-America recognition and All-Region selection in 2003-05. As a junior, Leon led the team to a great finish at the 2004 NCAA champion-ships. He posted a three-round, 1-under-par total of 279 (69-69-70-71) to tie for sixth, the best all-time finish in Penn State history.

Leon also enjoyed success after Penn State, bringing acclaim to his alma mater again when he made it to the quarterfinals of the 2005 U.S. Amateur Championship. Leon earned a spot in the quarterfinals after winning the regional qualifier in Altoona. In 2006, Leon played on the Canadian Na-tional Team. He was a medalist in the 2006 Canadian Amateur and made match play in the U.S. Amateur for the second consecutive year. He went on to qualify for the Canadian Tour, sustaining membership from 2007-10.

Fal l Season

The fall season consisted of five tournaments, which had the team traveling to courses throughout the North and Southeast. The squad saw a variety of competition throughout the tournaments including some of the nations most elite teams in addition to eight conference foes. Two golfers - sophomore Shane Stewart and freshman Xander McDonald-Smith - saw their first collegiate action. Stewart proved to be a competitive force for Penn State, pulling in a spot on all five lineups, while McDonald-Smith competed in two tournaments before suffering from an ankle injury.

The team experienced its best fall finish at its second tournament, the Inverness Intercollegiate. Regardless of the inclement weather, which re-duced the tournament to a single round, Penn State finished in sixth out of the 11-team field with a 16-over-par score of 300. The squad topped all but one Big Ten team, Michigan State, which came in five strokes ahead of the Lions. Anthony DeGol led the team for a second time during the fall season with his single-round score of 72.

DeGol ties with senior Tommy McDonagh in leading the team through-out the fall. The duo both came out on top for the Nittany Lions in two of the tournaments. McDonagh, who competed in all 13 rounds, holds the lowest round average for the fall season with a 75.23. DeGol holds a 75.86 round average for the seven rounds he competed in.

The spring schedule will feature a variety of new and frequented tourna-ments for the team. The season will kick off with two familiar tournaments, Big Ten Match Play Championships and the Pinehurst Intercollegiate. The team will then head to Towson, Md., to make its first appearance at the Fire-line Towson Invitational. For the fourth tournament, the Nittany Lions will have the opporunity to compete on their home course, as they host the 36th annual Rutherford Intercollegiate. For the last stop before post season play, the team will head into Big Ten territory to compete at the Hawkeye Invite.


2011-12 Review | Fall

The men’s golf team kicked off its 2011-12 campaign at the seventh an-nual Gopher Invitational at the Spring Hill Golf Club. Host Minnesota welcomed 13 teams to the par-72, 7,020-yard course.

The Big Ten was the most represented conference among the 10 fea-tured in the tournament. Joining Penn State and Minnesota from the Big Ten were Iowa and Wisconsin. Other teams included Liberty, North Texas, Santa Clara, Houston, Southern Methodist, Lamar, Arkansas, Kent State, Notre Dame and Charlotte.

Penn State was among the five teams making their tournament debut at the Gopher. The remaining nine teams participated in the tournament at least two times, with three programs including Minnesota (2005), Lamar (2007) and SMU (2009) having captured the tournament title.

The Nittany Lion lineup consisted of senior Tommy McDonagh, juniors Jay Woodward, Ernesto Marin and Anthony DeGol, and sophomore Shane Stewart, who made his collegiate debut.

After falling in 11th at the conclusion of the second round, the Nittany Lions were determined to stage a comeback in the third and final round. However, with the loss of Marin in the middle of the final round due to an injury, only four players were able to complete the final round. Despite being down a player, the Nittany Lions were able to rise to the occasion to jump two positions up the leader board.

DeGol had a big day on the course leading the Nittany Lions. After a steady start with pars on his first five holes, Degol added four birdies to go along with two bogeys coming home for a final round of 70. DeGol wrapped up the tournament tied for 29th with rounds of 77-79-70 (226).

McDonagh improved five strokes between the second and final rounds. Shooting a 4-over-par 76 in the third round, McDonagh climbed back up the player leader board to capture 31st place with his 11-over-par 227 (70-81-76) total.

The Nittany Lions were on the road again the following weekend to compete in the Maryland Intercollegiate at the River Marsh Golf Club in Cambridge, Md. Maryland hosted 14 teams for the two-day tournament.

Penn State carded a final round of 283, finishing the weekend with a three-round total of 844 (280-281-283) and taking home the title of the third annual Maryland Intercollegiate.

In second place after the first two rounds of play, the Nittany Lions came back strong to catapult themselves in front of UNC-Wilmington, which held the first place position after two rounds of play. Penn State finished eight strokes ahead of second-place UNC-Wilmington. The Nittany Lions shot 8-under-par and carded 46 birdies.

“Winning the Maryland Intercollegiate was a thrill,” said Head Coach Greg Nye. “The collective effort to bounce back this week showed great character.”

Miller distinguished himself on the field by shooting a final round of 69 to bring him to a three-round total of 207 to win the tournament. Miller beat Penn’s Max Marisco by one stroke, winning the tournament at 6-under-par and carding 12 birdies.

“Mike Miller has come out of gates in a big way. He has been nothing short of the outstanding play he showed over the summer,” said Nye.

Howe finished two strokes behind Miller, carding rounds of 68-71-70 (209). His hole-in-one during the third round of play was an incredible achievement, but evidently did not cause Howe to lose focus throughout the round. Howe took a third-place finish for the weekend.

“T.J. showed his experience when I went up to him about 10 minutes after his hole-in-one, and he said, ‘Thanks coach, but I have to keep focus on this shot I have here now,” Nye said.

The event, which was rated by Golf Digest as the 12th strongest field of the spring golf season, featured all 11 Big Ten schools. Matches were based on end-of-fall season rankings. Each school had a six-member team competing on the par-72, 7,048-yard field.

In Penn State’s first match up, the team fell to Minnesota, 3-1-2. After the morn-ing defeat, the Nittany Lions went on to beat Wisconsin in the first consolation round, 3-2-1.

Sophomore Jay Woodward stood out in the first match, capturing the single vic-tory the Nittany Lions had over Minnesota. Woodward took on Minnesota freshman Alex Gaugert and claimed the victory by virtue of leading by three holes with two holes remaining (3 and 2).

In the afternoon match up, Penn State topped Wisconsin, 3-2-1. Howe, DeGol and Porter earned the three victories for the Nittany Lions. Howe and DeGol both held onto no less than a 2 up score on the back nine to top a pair of Wisconsin sopho-mores. Porter battled with Wisconsin’s Sam Frank through the tenth hole where the match tallied seven all square marks. Porter concluded the match 3 and 2.

The Nittany Lions fell to Michigan State in the final match up with a score of 3-2-1 to conclude the event 1-2. Sophomores Matthew Porter and Ernesto Marin captured the two wins for Penn State. Porter matched up against Michigan State ju-nior Dave Ellis. The two stood all square at the seventh hole when Porter took control and led for the next eight holes, finishing play at 4 and 3. Marin took control early in play after standing all square with sophomore Matthew Moseley at the first two holes. Marin concluded play 3 and 3.

The Penn State men’s golf team took on 15 Division I teams at the 2011 edition of the Pinehurst Intercollegiate at The Club at Pinehurst No. 6 in North Carolina.

The Nittany Lions concluded tied for third place for the second consecutive year. After shooting a weekend low of 288 in the final round, the Nittany Lions tied with VCU carding a tournament total of 882 (293-301-288). They concluded nine strokes behind first place UNC Wilmington.

Senior T.J. Howe led Penn State, shooting his tournament low of 68 in the final round. Howe improved on the individual leader board, climbing five positions to set him one stroke behind the shared first-place position. Howe concluded play with rounds of 70-75-68 (213), tying him for third.

The sophomore trio of Jay Woodward, Ernesto Marin and Anthony DeGol all improved on the individual leader board as well. Woodward climbed five places to conclude the tournament tied for 30th with a three-round total of 224 (77-73-74). DeGol and Marin tied for 34th with a 12-over-par total of 225.

The Nittany Lions headed south to compete in the 12-team field of the 2011 LSU National Invitational. The tournament took place at the par-72, 7,274-yard University Club.

The team finished with a three-round total of 923 (305-305-313), 37 strokes be-hind winning team LSU, which shot rounds of 295-294-297 (886).

“We have two rookies and three players with college golf experience, and this was a tough adjustment this weekend for all our guys,” said Coach Nye. “The course conditions were the exact opposite of what we train on at the Blue this time of year. We saw very firm fast conditions, with wind. It was tough. We need to take what we can from the experience and move forward.”

Senior Tommy McDonagh and sophomore Anthony DeGol led the Nittany Lions in the final round with 5-over-par scores of 77. McDonagh finished 30th overall with a 14-over-par 230 (74-79-77). DeGol improved five places from Saturday to finish tied for 52nd, with rounds of 80-83-77 (240).

Big Ten Match Play Championship

February 11-12, 2011



The Penn State men’s golf team welcomed 15 teams to the par-71, 7,202-yard Penn State Blue Course for the 2011 Rutherford Intercollegiate, marking the tournament’s 35th year.

The Nittany Lions defended their home turf, earning their 22nd first-place finish. The team fired a 294 in the final round to finish with a tournament total of 880 (290-296-294), seven strokes ahead of second-place Towson (887).

“I thought the guys dug deep this weekend, gave it their all and played team golf for the most part and came out on top,” said Coach Nye. “Win-ning any event requires everyone to contribute and they all did so.”

The Lions led the competitive 16-team field for the entirety of the tour-nament with their largest lead of 10 strokes at the completion of the first and second rounds. In the final round of play, Towson fought back shooting a tournament-low team score of 287, but fell short to the Nittany Lions’ 28-over-par 880 finish by just seven strokes.

Senior T.J. Howe held on to the first-place position shooting a 2-over-par 73 in the final round, giving him a grand total of 216 (70-73-73). The senior finished just one stroke ahead of Binghamton’s Jake Katz who con-cluded play with a 4-over-par 217 (72-73-72). Howe led the field in par-3 (3.00, E) and par-4 scoring (4.09, +3), in addition to posting seven birdies and 37 total pars. The first-place finish awarded Howe his first individual title of the spring season.

“T.J. was impressive all weekend,” said Coach Nye. “It is so hard to win your last home event, and we knew he really wanted this one. He has been a terrific player all year, and he led us once again this weekend.”

Senior Tommy McDonagh concluded play with a tournament-high of nine birdies. McDonagh finished tied for sixth, matching his finish at last year’s Rutherford, but improving his play by one stroke with an 8-over-par finish of 221 (73-73-75). Sophomores Anthony DeGol and Ernesto Marin followed right behind McDonagh, tying for 12th and posting three-round totals of 223. Marin shot his tournament best of 73 in the final round to conclude with rounds of 75-75-73 (223). DeGol fired rounds of 72-78-73 (223) in his Rutherford debut. Sophomore Jay Woodward climbed one po-sition on the player leaderboard from the conclusion of the second round, placing him tied for 33rd with teammate and individual competitor Nick Archambault. Woodward carded rounds of 79-75-76 (230) and captured Penn State’s sole eagle for the tournament during the second round. Ar-chambault posted rounds of 80-75-75 (230) in his season debut.

The men’s golf team headed to Urbana, Ill., to compete in the Illini Spring Classic at the Stone Creek Golf Club. The tournament was a final tune-up before Big Ten championships.

After poor weather conditions, the officials were forced to suspend play during the second round, reducing the tournament to two rounds. The Nit-tany Lions came back to fire a 292 team score in the final round, awarding them a sixth-place finish with a 603 (311-292) tournament total.

“Today we resumed yesterday’s round at plus seven,” said Coach Nye. “We finished the last 14 holes better than any other team in the field at minus three.”

Improvements were drastic in the second round as the Nittany Lions posted a 292, 19-strokes less than the first-round total of 311. The 27-over-par 603 finish placed Penn State 20 strokes behind first place Akron. Only three Big Ten foes trumped Penn State’s score, including Illinois (593), Northwestern (600) and Indiana (601).

“These guys all played with great heart today after a real tough day yes-terday,” said Coach Nye. “It was as good as we have played all year and they did this when we needed it most.”

Senior T.J. Howe played a big role in the team’s improvements. The talented senior posted a final round of 68, improving play by 16 strokes between rounds. His two-round total of 152 (84-68) consisted of a hole-in-one and five birdies. Howe finished tied for 31st.

Senior Tommy McDonagh finished on top for the Nittany Lions with a 3-over-par total of 147 (74-73). McDonagh tied for seventh with six bird-ies. Sophomores Anthony DeGol and Jay Woodward tied for 31st with fellow teammate T.J. Howe posting scores of 76-76 (152) and 77-75 (152), respectively. Sophomore Ernesto Marin improved by six strokes in the sec-ond round tallying a tournament-total of 192 (84-78).

The Penn State men’s golf team opened postseason play at the Big Ten Champion-ship at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette, Ind. The three-day, 72-hole tournament was contested on the par-72, 7,465-yard Kampen Course.

Penn State posted a tournament-total of 1208 (297-294-316-301) to finish in ninth. Illinois took the tournament title with an 8-over-par 1160 (293-288-298-281).

Senior T.J. Howe’s golf career at Penn State was extended as the talented Nittany Lion accepted an individual bid to partici-pate in the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship.

“T.J. has been recognized by the com-mittee as the No. 1-seeded individual in the region,” said Coach Greg Nye. “He has had another outstanding year and will be an outstanding competitor repre-senting Penn State in this year’s National Championship.”

Coming off an exceptional spring season, which included three top-ten finishes, a hole-in-one at the Illini Classic and a Big Ten Golfer of the Week honor, Howe, who was ranked No. 149 in Golfweek’s most recent rankings, headed to the Virginia Tech Region to compete as the top-seeded individual in the three-day, 54-hole tournament.

Although the event marked Howe’s premier performance at the Pete Dye River Course, the NCAA tournament was an event he had experience with throughout his collegiate career. The 2011 edition marked Howe’s fourth NCAA championship appearance, however, it was the senior’s first time ever competing as an individual.

Howe wrapped up the final round of his collegiate career tied for 32nd with a three-round total of 225 (73-76-76). In the final round, he began play on the back nine holding even par through the first two holes. On the 12th hole, Howe made a birdie and remained 1-under-par through the 13th hole. After bogeying three holes and shooting even par on the final five holes of the back nine, Howe moved onto the front nine with a 2-over-par score of 38. Howe went even-par on seven of the front nine holes and bogeyed two to give him a 4-over-par 76 in the final round.

Howe concluded play 15 strokes behind tournament champion Okla-homa’s Abraham Ancer who finished with a 3-under par score of 210 (70-71-69). Ancer, who is 82nd in the latest Golfstat rankings, led his team to a third place finish in the regional tournament, securing a spot for the Sooners in the NCAA Championship. Joining Oklahoma in the champi-onship from the Virginia Tech Regional are first place Duke (865), second place Georgia Tech (869), fourth place LSU (880) and fifth place Kent State (893). Competing for the individuals is Coastal Carolina’s Sebastian Soderburg who finished 13 strokes ahead of Howe, tied for second with rounds of 73-72-67 (212).

QUOTEBOOK“I have been very fortunate to be able to pur-

sue 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-athlete’s education and well-being re-main first and foremost.” — Coach Nye

STRENGTH OF PLAY“We have challenged ourselves with our sched-

ule and the quality of our play has moved along with that challenge.” — Coach Nye

In his 20th season at Penn State, men’s golf coach Greg Nye has guided the Nittany Lions to national prominence, while bolstering the pro-gram’s reputation as a perennial power in eastern collegiate golf. The historic marches to NCAA Finals in 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2010 are four major highlights of a storied career.

The most significant contribution Nye has made to Penn State and eastern collegiate golf history came at the end of the 1995-96 season, when he led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Fi-nals with a ninth-place finish in the NCAA East Regional.

With their triumphant finish at the East Re-gional, the Nittany Lions became the first team from either of the NCAAs eastern sections - Dis-trict I or II - to advance to the finals since the regional format was established in 1987.

In 2004, his Nittany Lions rocked the colle-giate golf world by nearly winning the NCAA East Regional, finishing second out of 27 teams, seven of which were ranked in the nation’s top 15. One of the teams finishing behind the Lions was No. 1-ranked Florida Gators. The Nittany Lions then went on to finish 15th among 30 teams at the NCAA Finals, making Penn State golf history with its highest team finish ever.

The team headed into Big Ten territory for the 2008 edition of the NCAA regionals after receiv-ing 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 championship berth under Coach Nye.

At the Championship, the squad sat in 25th after the third round and did not make the 15-team cut to advance to the final round. Kevin Foley tied for 23rd in the third round and was the sole Nittany Lion to compete in the final round. The talented sophomore held on to his 23rd-place position at the completion of the championship.

The Penn State squad was propelled into the 2010 NCAA Finals by seniors T.J. Howe and Kevin Foley. The standout performances by the pair secured a fourth-place finish for the Nittany Lions at regionals, knocking off higher-ranked opponents including No. 17 South Carolina and No. 19 Virginia. Howe’s tied for 1st-place finish made Penn State history as he collected the best individual regional finish by any Nittany Lion golfer.

The team went on to finish 29th in the field of 30, with Howe coming out on top for the Nit-tany Lions yet again.

“The 1996, 2004, 2008 and 2010 teams were very special,” said Nye. “More importantly, those were very tough minded and believed they could be successful against the higher ranked teams.”

Personal Milestone at 35th Annual Rutherford

In April 2011, Nye marked a personal achievement as the Nittany Lions topped the leader board at the 35th Annual Rutherford In-tercollegiate. The seven-stroke win over Towson University marked the 60th title of Nye’s coach-ing career.

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 mark that was tied by the 1996-97 squad.

Academic & AthleticExcellence

In addition to the team’s success on the course, Nye has continually stressed strong performance in the classroom. In 15 of 20 seasons at Penn State, the Nittany Lions have achieved a team grade-point average greater than 3.00. In 2000-01, Nye’s team posted the best G.P.A. of any of the 29 teams at Penn State. Nye has coached 17 GCAA All-America Scholars, one GTE Aca-demic All-American and each year he has seen a high percentage of the team rewarded for their academic achievements with Academic All-Big Ten honors.

Nye’s teams have continually ranked near or at the top of the Mid-Atlantic Region. The team has qualified for the NCAA East Regional 18 times and NCAA Central Regional one time. In 2011, senior T.J. Howe competed individually at

the Virginia Tech regional. Nye’s squads have also won the Eastern Championship three straight seasons, 1993-95, and in 1997.

Nye was voted the NCAA District II Coach of the Year in 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008 2009 and 2010. He has coached 52 All-Region honorees, five Mid-Atlantic Region Players of the Year, eight All-Big Ten selections, as well as five NCAA All-Americans - Adam Decker (1997), Matt Abbott (2001), Mark Leon (2004), Foley (2008/09/10) and Howe (2010).

“Our program has grown on the national scene as we watched our rankings consistently stay in the top 25 percent of all Division I golf programs,” Nye said. “We have challenged our-selves with our schedule and the quality of our play has moved right along with that challenge.”

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 attract-ed to Penn State and its membership in the Big Ten Conference. The 1987 Mid-American Con-ference Coach of the Year developed a familiarity with Penn State as a visiting primary instructor to its golf camps. Nye is currently the co-director of the Penn State golf camps, which run for four weeks each summer.

Professional Leadership

Nye has been a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America for 29 years and served as the Chair of the Ethics committee from 1993-2003. In addition, he also served the NCAA as a District Selection Chair for the NCAA Cham-pionship from 1997-99. Nye, a PGA “Class A” member since 1982, began his professional career working as a golf professional.

Playing Career

Nye graduated from the College of Wooster (Ohio) in 1979 where he earned All-America honors each of his four seasons. As a sophomore, junior and senior, he received first-team honors. With a second-team selection in his first year, Nye and his teammates captured the 1975 NCAA Division III Golf Championship in which he finished eighth individually. Before concluding his collegiate career, Nye earned second, fourth and sixth-place finishes in the national champi-onship. 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 squads that captured conference titles in 1975, 1976, and 1977.

In 1990, Nye was inducted into 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.

Nye’s national amateur tournament experience is considerable. While at Wooster, he twice gained exemptions to play in the Western Amateur and Porter Cup. He also played in the Eastern, Canadian and U.S. Amateurs. He played profes-sionally on the North Florida mini-tour in 1980.

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 com-petitive 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 ath-letes’ education and well being remains first and foremost.”

Nye and his wife, Marjie, reside in State College with their two sons, Russell (22), and Graham (19).

Nye Family Golf Tradition

Coach Nye, his two brothers and his father have all been greatly involved in the sport of golf. Father Bob Nye coached all three sons at the Col-lege 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 1963-1996 and was in-ducted into Wooster’s Hall of Fame in 1997. He served as the president of the Golf Coaches As-sociation 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 Golfweek’s 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. Merion hosted the 2009 Walker Cup and will host the 2013 U.S. Open.

Nye’s youngest brother, Gary, serves as the head golf professional at the Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier, Pa.

Coming to Penn State

Leon was initially introduced to the Penn State men’s golf program by former assistant coach Richard Distlerath while competing at an American Junior Golf As-sociation (AJGA) event in Detroit, Mich., the summer after his senior year of high school. At the time, Leon still had one more year of high school to complete, with Cana-da requiring five years.

Shortly after, Leon had the opportunity to meet with Coach Nye on his recruiting trip to Penn State. The trip marked the last of Leon’s five official college visits. He says from the moment he stepped on the cam-pus he knew he was destined to end up in Happy Valley.

“The combination of both academic and athletic facilites was overwhelming,” said Leon.

He recalls thinking that the campus and downtown area were unlike any of the other colleges he had visited thus far. He took an immediate liking to the overall feel of the Penn State community, however, he says what truly sold him was meeting his future teammates.

“Everyone on the team hung out to-gether, pulled for each other and took care of one another,” said Leon. “Coming from a large family, and another country, Penn State felt like a place that would feel like home. It turned out to be the best decision of my life.”

Leon’s Time at Penn State

Leon was a member of the Nittany Lion squad from 2001-05. He earned All-Big Ten honors in 2005, 2004 GCAA All-America recognition and All-Region 2003-05. He is tied for fifth on Penn State’s career scoring leaders list with a 73.79 average in the 134 rounds he played on the squad.

As a junior, Leon led the team to a great finish in the 2004 NCAA championships. He posted a three-round, 1-under-par total of 279 (69-69-70-71) to tie for sixth, the best all-time finish in Penn State history.

Life After Graduation

After graduating from Penn State in 2005, Leon pursued a career in golf. He brought acclaim to his alma mater when he made it to the quarterfinals of the 2005 U.S. Amateur Championship. The young graduate won his qualifier in Altoona and advanced to the quarterfinals. In 2006, Leon played on the Canadian National Team. He was a medalist in the 2006 Canadian Amateur and made match play in the U.S. Amateur for the second consecutive year. He went on to qualify for the Canadian Tour, of which he was a member of from 2007-10.

Leon Returns to Alma Mater

After five years of competing as a profes-sional, Leon made the decision to return to his alma mater as the assistant coach.

“I am thrilled to be coming back to State College and rejoining the golf team as a coach,” said Leon. “Being a student-athlete at Penn State provided me with great memories and friends that I will cherish for lifetime. To have the opportunity to come back and share in those experiences with a new generation of Penn State golfers is an opportunity that I am very much looking forward to.”

Leon welcomed the opportunity to work in the new facilities and continue the success the program has experienced in years past.

“Since I graduated in 2005 a lot has changed with our program, particularly with regard to the facilities,” said Leon. “Coach Nye and Coach (Jon) Dunlap really ushered in a new look for Penn State men’s golf, and it is reflected in the success of the team in the past six years. The Blue Course, team practice area and Tombros Varsity Clubhouse have given our team a world-class facility to hone its skills and compete on a national level. Despite everything being so new and so different, it’s still like coming home for me. Like all proud alumni, I love this University and I will do my best to rep-resent it as a coach.”

Leon Family Tradition

When asked about how he got involved in the sport of golf, Leon said it was some-thing his dad, John, got him and his three siblings started in from a young age. The Leon siblings have all shared a love for the sport, which is made evident in all of their collegiate paths. The eldest Leon, Michael, played golf at the University of Victoria where he helped the team win a Canadian National Title in 2005. Matthew Leon, who followed Mark to Penn State, was one of the top junior golfers in Canada. He held a spot on the Nittany Lion roster from 2005-09. The youngest Leon, Vanessa, played golf for two years at Michigan State before transferring to the University of British Columbia. While there, she helped the team win an NAIA title in 2010.

Life in Happy Valley

After college, Leon married Jaime Stich, a member of the Penn State women’s soccer team from 2001-05. The couple resides in State Col-lege with their 3-year-old daughter, Cameron.

Michael Carter Legacy

The Penn State golf family is still healing from

the loss of Mike Carter — the spunky and color-ful 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 engag-ing 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 their 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 Coach 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 en-dowed a grant in the name of their son to be awarded annually to the golf program.

Lions on Tour

Penn State has long been a teeing ground for which graduates use to begin their professional careers. Several alumni are or have pursued their dream of playing professional golf.

Matt Abbott, a 2001 graduate has seen great success since 2007 on the Gateway Tour and Minor League Tour. On the Gateway Tour he as earned over $91,000 and made 32-of-40 cuts in the last two seasons. On the Minor League Tour, Abbott has earned numerous victories and over $20,000 in earnings.

Mark Leon, a 2005 grad, earned Canadian Tour exempt status in the fall of 2007. After a complete season on tour, Leon finished high enough on the money list to gain exempt status for the 2009 season. Leon’s top finish of the 2008 season was a second-place finish. He advanced to the 2nd round of PGA Tour Q-School. Leon also spent time playing on the Great Lakes Tour before returning to Penn State as assistant coach in 2011.

Greg Pieczynski (2006) has spent much of his short pro-fessional career on the Gateway Tour. He won the 2008 Philadelphia Open as well as the Philadelphia PGA Assistants Championship. He finished seventh at the PGA National As-sistants Championship.

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. Last year, Fuller qualified for the second round of the PGA Tour Q-School.

Adam Decker (1996) is now the head coach for the Univer-sity 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, has been a regular on the Cana-dian 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 fin-ished 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 Na-tionwide Tour experiences include the 1996 Buffalo Open, 2003 Alberta Calgary Classic and 2004 Boise Open. Ayers has also competed on the Australasian PGA Tour.

1993 alum, Jason Tyska perhaps turned in the most im-pressive 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 Nation-wide 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.

Three-time All-American Kevin Foley graduated in 2010 and has since enjoyed a life in golf. Most recently the talented Penn State alum secured the title at the 91st NJSGA Open Championship with a three-round total of 205 (68-68-69).

T.J. Howe, a 2011 graduate, secured his first professional title at the NGA Pro Golf Tour. The tournament, which lasted from Nov. 8-10, 2011 brought in golfers from all over the world. The competitors participated in two rounds before a top-16 cut was made. Howe successfully made the cut, com-ing in tied for ninth after the second round with a score of 144 (71-73). In the final round, Howe fired a 4-under-par 68, catapulting himself into the first place slot on the leader board. The talented alum concluded the tournament with a total of 212 (71-73-68)

“Penn State has had its share of talented players through the years, and these guys have given it a shot,” said Coach Nye. “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. Some of these guys are close to making it happen. Some of them have given it their all and have now chosen other career paths. It is with great pride that we watch their efforts.”

Many Penn State alumni work as golf professionals throughout the U.S. and some still compete as club profes-sionals. These professionals, combined with the alumni trying to make the various tours, have helped Penn State touch the golf community and will help line the fairways for current and future Nittany Lion golfers.

The first team in the history of Districts I and II to reach the NCAA FINALS. 1996 NCAA East Regional

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

Byron Clift (right), 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 monu-mental 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.

1996 NCAA East Regional

Greg Piecynski, Jason Pannone, Mark Leon, Marco Poccia and Ted Neville led the Nittany Lions to the 2004 NCAA Finals.

Penn State 15th at NCAA FINALSThe team registered a score of 300 in the NCAA Championships, for a tournament total of

289-291-290-300-1170. 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 pro-cess (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 post-season

Penn State Second at NCAA East Regional The 2004 men’s golf team earned a trip to the NCAA Tourna-ment 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 com-petition 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.”

- Penn State coach Greg Nye


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 Mitch-ell, 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 Bez-dek, 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 (Cap-tain), 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, Co-lumbia, 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 inter-collegiate 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 Inter-collegiate. Rutherford’s team went on to have three more undefeated campaigns with the most signifi-cant 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 Champion-ships in Atlantic City, N.J. In the first round of the finals, Penn State went on to beat a tough George-town 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 match-es 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 twin-kle in his eye.

The first aeriel view of the Penn State Golf Course.

Penn State Golf History



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

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 dishearten-ing 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 champi-onship 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 was a member of the historic 1948 EIGA Championship team and captain of the 1949 team. Boyle wasted little time building off of Ruther-ford’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 tourna-ments. 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, Da-vidson 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 sum-mer 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 wom-en’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 out-standing 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 Dis-trict 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 com-petitions. 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 sur-face, 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 sec-ond 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.

Nye - Builds and Goes National in Scope

On Aug, 28, 1992 it was announced that former Bowling Green head men’s & 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 Charlot-tesville, 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 com-pletely 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, 6,008-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 fol-lowing 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 Ha-waii. 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 tourna-ment 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 mo-mentum 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 fa-cilities, 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 lo-cated 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 per-formance. 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.

Rutherford Intercollegiate

The Rutherford Intercollegiate, hosted by Penn State, has become one of the top events in the North-east, annually featuring a top field of Eastern teams and several squads from around the nation.The Nittany Lions have domi-nated the Rutherford since it was established as the Nittany Lion Invitational in 1975, winning the tournament 22 times. Seventeen Penn State golfers have medaled atop the leaderboard, the last featuring T.J. Howe in 2011. The 2011 Spring Rutherford Inter-collegiate was the 35th edition of the tournament. The Nittany Lions finished in first place with a three-round score of 880 (290-296-294).

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 that is recalled each spring.
