Scott Harris Jr. claimed the first national title in St. John Fisher College Division III history, winning the individual competition at the NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championship. Harris shot a 75 on Friday, completing his wire-to-wire win, earning the victory by five strokes.
Harris' victory, however, was some-what bitter-sweet for the Cardinals. Fisher led the team competition going into the final round, but finished in third place overall. It is still one of the best finishes by a Fisher team. The Fisher women's basketball program has finished as the national runner-up twice, while in 2006, the Fisher football program also finished third in the national tournament.
In 2005, Harris won the individual NJCAA Division III Championship, shooting a 291 at Monroe Community College. He did not golf in 2006, and last year he led Fisher to 17th-place in the national tournament, while earning All-American honors.
