When Neal Shipley transferred to Ohio State in 2022, he never would have imagined he’d earn his PGA Tour card just three years later.
At the time Shipley arrived in Columbus from James Madison, he felt like he was “miles and miles away” from reaching the sport’s highest level. He had a modest scoring average of just 73.2 during his career at JMU, so there wasn’t much reason to believe he was on the fast track to stardom.
But Ohio State men’s golf coach Jay Moseley saw an edge, work ethic and sense of belief in Shipley that made him believe Shipley had the potential for greatness.
