School history was made when Lipscomb freshman men’s golfer Dawson Armstrong was selected to compete in the 2015 NCAA Division I men’s golf championship.
As the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Year, Armstrong is one of 45 individuals chosen to advance to Chapel Hill, North Carolina regional hosted by the University of North Carolina at the University of North Carolina Finley Golf Course.
“I am glad I have the chance to represent Lipscomb,” Armstrong said.
Armstrong said hopes he can continue his success into the NCAA tournament and show how Lipscomb athletes can compete with the best players.
“With college golf, anyone can be just as good as you are,” Armstrong said. “You have to play your best, and sometimes your best is not good enough against college competition.”
Armstrong said he has pushed himself to play his finest golf game no matter what the competition is like.
Armstrong’s skill has set him up to meet the goals he and Lipscomb head men’s golf coach Will Brewer made at the beginning of the season.
“Coach Brewer knew what my goals were going into the season and knows that getting there is a process,” Armstrong said. “He has helped me see the big picture and knows that I have to take each goal little by little and figure out how I can achieve what I have set out to accomplish.”
Armstrong will head to North Carolina from May 14-16.
