14 OHIO GOLFMEN’S HISTORY

Ohio University’s first golf team (1947) finished its initial season with a 6-5-1 record and a third-place finish in the Mid-American Conference. Coached by Kermit Blosser, the team had to pay its own green fees – 25 cents for nine holes at the Athens Country Club or 50 cents to play 18 at Logan – and supply its own clubs.

The Bobcats won their first MAC championship in 1951. Dave Rambo became Ohio’s first medalist, Dow Finsterwald placed second and Earl Davis Jr. finished third as the team won the 36-hole tournament by 24 strokes.

Finsterwald turned pro in 1952 and went on to win 12 PGA events, including the 1958 PGA Championship when he came from three strokes down to defeat Sam Snead by posting a 67 in the final round. The tour’s 1958 Player of the Year also played on the U.S. Ryder Cup teams in 1957, 1959, 1961 and 1963 and served as the PGA vice president from 1976-78.

In 1952, the Bobcats won the MAC title again with Roger Pedigo as conference medalist. Ohio then made it three straight in 1953.

Dick Smail became the conference champion in 1954 as the Bobcats tied Kent State for the title. In 1955, Smail shared medalist honors with teammate Dave Moore as Ohio captured its fifth-consecutive MAC championship.

After finishing third in 1956, the Bobcats won the next five conference titles, from 1957-61. Ohio won every tournament in which it played in 1958 until finishing 17th at the NCAA Tournament. The run was also highlighted by individual champions Charles Vandlik (1959) and Bill Santor (1960).

15OHIO GOLFMEN’S HISTORY

Ohio’s next championship season came in 1963 when Nick Karl became the Bobcats’ eighth MAC medalist. Ohio shared the 1964 conference title with Toledo, and then claimed its 13th MAC crown in 1965, led by two-time All-American Bobby Littler.

The Bobcats won again in 1967 with Terry Beard taking medalist honors at the Bowling Green Golf Course. In 1969, Ohio trailed by nine shots with nine holes left but fought back to edge Miami by three shots for the victory.

With the MAC Championships at the Athens County Club in 1971, the Bobcats dominated the field as all six Ohio golfers – Carlton White, Tim Reardon, Bob Moock, Mike McPhee, Mark Brugner and current head coach Bob Cooley Jr. – finished in the individual

top 10. The 1971 season gave Blosser his 16th conference title in 21 campaigns and also resulted in Moock receiving All-America

Honorable Mention recognition.

Blosser won two more MAC championships, in 1979 and 1980,

before his retirement after the 1988 season at age 77.

Since Cooley took over the coaching helm, the Bobcats have produced four All-MAC performers: Michael Walker (1993), Erik Herberth (2002), Ryan Siekmann (2005) and Mark Cimarolli (2006). Cooley won the MAC Coach of the Year award in 2002 as Ohio placed second that year – its best finish since winning the MAC Tournament in 1980 – and Herberth went on to compete in the NCAA Central Regionals, finishing 12th and just two strokes shy of advancing to the NCAA Championships.

In 2005-06, Cimarolli won individual medalist honors at the Big East/MAC Challenge while Grant Christman tied for seventh at the MAC Championship and was named to the Academic All-MAC Team.
