USC Trojans Men's Golf History & Archive
Overview
USC has one of the most successful golf programs in the nation, having produced 4 NCAA individual champions (Scott Simpson in 1976 and 1977, Ron Commans in 1981 and Jamie Lovemark in 2007), 23 Pac-12 individual champs, 26 All-American first teamers and numerous players who have had successful professional careers, including $1 million-plus winners like Al “Mr. 59” Geiberger, Dave Stockton, Craig Stadler and Simpson. Troy has also been dominant in the Pac-12, winning 20 conference championships. Legendary coach Stan Wood (1955-79) had a career record of 462-37 (.926) and won 14 league crowns. He also guided Troy to an NCAA record 51 consecutive dual match wins from 1956-59. His teams finished third in the NCAA tourney 6 times.
Under coach Randy Lein (1984-92), USC won the league title in 1986. U.S. Amateur champion Sam Randolph, who finished as low amateur at the Masters in 1985 and 1986, was a first team All-American 3 straight years and was named college golf’s 1986 Player of the Year. Kurt Schuette became coach in 1995 and guided USC to back-to-back Pac-10 titles in 2001-02. Kevin Stadler, Craig’s son, was the 2002 Pac-10 Golfer of the Year (USC’s first honoree since 1986).
Ex-Trojan Chris Zambri became head coach in 2007 through 2020 and led USC to league titles in 2007, 2011 and 2018. He guided USC to third at the 2008 NCAAs, when he was National Coach of the Year, and took Troy to a program-best second at the 2015 NCAAs. The Trojans tied for third in 2016 and for fifth in 2017, part of a then-national co-leading 11 straight NCAA trips. J.T. Higgins was named head coach for the 2021 season, and most recently, Mark Hankins took over the program beginning in 2023.
