"Being the only NCAA Division III university to offer the PGA Golf Management program creates unique opportunities for Meth- odist University and these three students," said Bob Bruns, director of MU's PGA Golf Management program. "All of these students are unique, but also share a love for golf and a drive to be successful on the course and in the classroom. ey con- tinue to be leaders in many different facets of our teams and within the program from operating the golf shop to excelling in internships to captaining the women's golf team while being great students."
