There are many instances of injuries causing people to switch sports or athletic career paths, from former English football player Jimmy Bullard to Olympic silver medalist Rebecca Romero. What each athlete has in common is the constant pursuit of competition. The same can be said for St. Joseph’s University graduate student Wills Montgomery.
It wasn’t until his sophomore year of playing that he realized that he might have a bright future in the sport, after competing in a playoff at the 2014 ChesMont League Championship. When Montgomery landed on Hawk Hill his freshman year, his success in high school accelerated at the collegiate level. He was named Atlantic-10 Rookie of the Week twice, posting three-top 20 finishes and one-top 10 in all ten events while averaging 75.36 strokes per round in 25 rounds.
A common misconception held is that golf can’t possibly be a team sport as each player is directly competing against one another, but Montgomery wants to put that narrative to rest and explained that at the end of the day, each player on the roster still has the same goal of contributing to wins.
