Bio
From Hall of Honor press release dated Oct. 19, 2004:
Rick Lyons is Wittenberg's most decorated golfer ever, and he is
the only player in the program's history to ever place in the top
20 of the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament all four years
of his career. He earned first-team All-America honors in each of
his first three years in the Red & White before settling for
11th place as a senior, which gave him second-team All-America
status. His third-place finish in 1990, his fourth-place finish in
1991 and his sixth-place finish in 1989 are the three highest
finishes in school history. Lyons earned team MVP honors all four
years, first-team all-conference all four years, and he served as
team captain in 1992. He also led the Tigers to fifth place in 1989
national championships, the best finish in school history. A native
of Dayton, Lyons currently resides in Springfield.
