captain of the 1951 team and winner of the Virginia State Amateur that same

year, was inducted in 1996. Current associate head coach Brian Sharp, the

only Tech golfer to be both a four-time all-conference selection and a four-time

first-team all-state honoree, was inducted in 2009. All-American and three-time

PGA Tour winner, Johnson Wagner, was inducted in 2013. Fellow All-American

An outstanding individual accomplishment for a Virginia Tech golfer came in

the summer of 2007, when Drew Weaver won the British Amateur. By virtue of

winning this historic championship, he competed in the 2007 British Open and

Virginia Tech won a nation’s-best six tournaments

in 2000-2001 and finished eighth in the NCAA Championship.
