One of the top players in Temple golf history, Walter Brown had a stellar four-year career and was the first Owl to compete in four NCAA Tournaments. A two-time GCAA All-America selection, he won the individual Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Championship as a freshman in 1973, earning a berth in the NCAA Championship. The following year, he shot a course record 63 to lead the Owls to the Yale Invitational Championship.Â
His play also led the Owls to their first team appearance in the NCAA Championship. As a junior in 1975, he helped Temple to four team titles, winning two individual championships. He capped his brilliant career by leading Temple to the #1 ranking in the East and six outright team titles. For his career, Temple won a still-standing record of 12 team titles over four seasons and posted an incredible 46-2 dual match play record.
