University of Findlay

Eric Atsma helped build the Oilers men’s golf program into what it is today and won five individual tournament titles during his career, the second-highest total in school history.

Atsma was a standout for the Oilers the moment he arrived at Findlay, earning Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Freshman of the Year accolades in 2005. He is one of only two golfers in program history to be named first team all-conference four times and also secured all-Great Lakes Region honors in 2007 and 2008.

During his senior season in 2007-08, Atsma led the Oilers to their first GLIAC championship as they edged Ferris State University and Ashland University by one stroke with a score of 879 at the Findlay Country Club. Atsma finished as the runner-up, one stroke off the lead, with a 54-hole score of 218 (74, 73, 71) at the championship.

Atsma currently ranks fourth all-time at Findlay with a career scoring average of 74.60 and his 5-under par round of 67 at the Ferris State Invitational in 2005 is the second-lowest score for an individual in program history. He also recorded three, top-five finishes at the GLIAC Championship during his tenure with the program.
