Alan Dixon, junior golfer for The Ohio State University at Marion, was presented the overall medalist award at the Ohio University Zanesville Tracer Golf Classic, Saturday, April 26, 2008.

Dixon shot a 73 for the day, leading a field of 80 golfers who participated in the tournament. At one point, he was 4 under par during a 7-hole stretch of the 18-hole course. The Tracer Golf Classic includes all Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC) competition, as well as four at large teams from outside the conference. He also finished runner-up at Ohio State Newark’s Golf Invitational the day prior.

Although he won individual honors at the ORCC State Tournament in 2006, Dixon feels his work on the links and in practice continue to pay dividends and his game has become more consistent.

Based on current ORCC standings Dixon is unofficially third in the overall statewide individual golf standings. Because Ohio State Marion regularly competes against regional campus conference competition but is not an official member of the conference Dixon’s standing is unofficial.

A lifelong resident of Marion, Dixon began golfing at the age of 9. He excelled as a member of the Pleasant High School golf team for four years. He has been part of the Scarlet Wave golf team since enrolling at Ohio State Marion three years ago.

Dixon is majoring in finance and currently takes classes on both the Marion and Columbus campuses. Upon graduation he plans to continue working with Wachovia Securities in Marion, where he has served in an internship role for the past seven months.
