Bio
McDearman turned in one of the best campaigns in the history of the Tech men's golf program, leading the team with a 72.42 scoring average over 12 rounds and four events. It marked the lowest scoring mark by a freshman in school history and the lowest by any Golden Eagle since PGA Tour Pro Scott Stallings last suited up in the purple and gold in 2006-07.
The Lebanon, Tenn. native secured a pair of top-10 finishes, including tying for sixth place at the OVC Championships to lead the Golden Eagles to a fourth-place finish. Steady as they come, the rookie did not turn in a round higher than 76 all season. In his collegiate debut at the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate, he fired a season-low 69 to open his career and finished with a season-best 214 for the event.
The youngster earned places on both the All-OVC Team and OVC All-Newcomer Team, the first Golden Eagle ever to collect both honors in the same season.
