Throughout the entire history of the men’s golf program at the University of New Mexico, you would be hard-pressed to find a better 
golfer than Gavin Green. A three-time All-American, Green was named the Mountain West Men’s Golfer of the Year in 2014-15 for the second straight season after claiming three tournament wins as a senior. He shattered UNM’s record for career wins with eight, which is three more than the previous record, in becoming just the second Lobo golfer to be named the Mountain West’s best two years in a row.
His average score of 70.45 during 2014-15 was the second best ever by a Lobo and it helped him earn the No. 6 national ranking by the NCAA as well as a spot on the 24-man All-Nicklaus Team. He was also a semifinalist for the Ben Hogan Award, which recognizes the top collegiate/amateur golfer in the country, after 10 top-10 finishes last year.
Green was also No. 6 in the World Amateur Golf rankings thanks in part to his success at professional events. He finished 25th at the European Tour’s Maybank Malaysian Open and placed in a third-place tie at the PGM Panasonic Open Malaysia Tournament of Champions.
Perhaps most impressively of all, though, was the fact that he became the first amateur to ever win an event on the Asian Development Tour when he won the PGM Vascory Templer Park Championship by 11 strokes in June 2014.
