(Golf)
(1997) - Gregg Bonheur, who is the only All-American
golfer in UMass Lowell history, became the 104th inductee into
the Athletic Hall of Fame. Bonheur, a resident of Lowell,
earned honorable mention All-America honors during his career
while playing under former UMass Lowell mentor Bob Callary.
A three-year letterwinner, Gregg came to UMass Lowell after a
five-year stint in the United States Marine Corps and made two
appearances in the NCAA Division II Championships as an at-large
individual entrant. Named by the Golf Coaches Association
as an All-America Scholar, Bonheur was a two-time All-District I
selection and was the NECC individual champion in 1987.
During his junior season, Gregg earned all-America accolades and
placed first in the ECAC Northern Qualifier and 16th overall in
the ECAC Championships. Unbeaten in match play, he posted
a 78.3 stoke average in 18 rounds and placed 35th in the NCAA
Championships. The team captain as a senior, Bonheur
registered a 77.8 stroke average in 1989.
