Saint Leo University head men’s golf coach Chris Greenwood was named the 2016 Dave Williams Division II National Coach of the Year Award by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
The third-year coach led the Lions to back-to-back NCAA National Championship appearances, but this season concluded with a title in hand. The No. 2 Lions defeated No. 1 Chico State 3-2 in the national finals on May 21 in Denver, Colorado, to culminate in the University’s first-ever team National Championship. During the season, Greenwood guided Saint Leo to 11 top-five tournament finishes. Prior to working at Saint Leo, Greenwood served as the Director of Golf at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for one year, and also spent seven seasons as the head men’s golf coach at Lynn University in Boca Raton. A former golf pro, Greenwood spent 12 years on the Canadian Golf Tour before becoming a college coach.
