Skidmore College Athletics

By the time Bryan Martin arrived on campus, he had already racked up a string of junior golf championships and captured the 1994 New York State High School Golf title. The Burnt Hills, NY, native quickly proceeded to build one of the most distinguished careers in the history of Skidmore Men's Golf. Selected Golf Week Collegiate Freshman of the Year, he was also named top freshman golfer in the nation by the Golf Coaches Association and Wilson Sporting Goods. The four-time All American was third team in 1995 and first team in 1996, 1997, and 1998.   

He finished in the top five in 30 collegiate tournaments, including a second place and two fourth place finishes at the NCAA Division III Championships. He finished second in the ECAC Tournament twice (1996, 1997), competing against Division I, II, and III schools, and earned second place honors twice in the Gordin Invitational (1996, 1997). Named team MVP in 1997 and 1998, Martin captained the Thoroughbreds to numerous team tournament wins and strong finishes in the NCAA finals both years.   

He reached the U.S. Amateur Championships twice (1995, 1996) and made the quarter finals of the New York Amateur three times. Martin captured the Passaconaway Open in 1996, finishing second there in 1997. In 1998 he won the Rochester Country Club Invitational. All told, he won nine of the 51 tournaments in which he played. Named Skidmore Senior Athlete of the Year in 1998, Martin was also one of eight collegiate golfers (and the only Division III player) selected to represent the U.S. in Japan's Nippon Games.
