Former golf standout Brad Fritsch was inducted into the Campbell Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 10.  Following is his citation.

Born in Edmonton, Alberta and raised in Manotick, Ontario, Fritsch arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1996 and went on to become just the second student-athlete in Campbell history to twice earn Academic All-America honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. 

A member of the 1999 Atlantic Sun Conference men's golf championship team as a junior, Fritsch earned all-conference recognition in his senior campaign when he won the Lonnie D. Small Memorial tournament and was named team MVP.

He was chosen Academic All-American following both his junior and senior years and graduated in 2000 with a 3.9 grade-point average as a criminal justice major.

Fritsch then embarked on his professional golf career, playing on the PGA Tour Canada from 2001-06 and again from 2010-11.  He moved up to the Nationwide (now Web.com) Tour from 2007-09 and again in 2012.  He finished 18th on the 2012 Web.com money list to earn a place on the PGA Tour in 2013.

As a PGA Tour rookie in 2013, Fritsch finished ninth at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines and finished 129th on the FedEx Cup points list.  He tied for second at the Web.com Tour finals to earn his return trip to the PGA Tour in 2014.

In 2014 Fritsch placed among the top 10 individuals at the Wyndham Championship, RBC Canadian Open and the Farmers Insurance Open.  He finished 151st on the FedEx Cup points list.  Fritsch then won the six-round Web.com Tour qualifying tournament by seven shots at 27-under-par to earn fully exempt status on the Web.com circuit in 2015.

In 131 career Web.com tour events, Fritsch has finished as runner-up three times and in the top 10 on 16 occasions.  He has four career top-10 finishes in 52 starts on the PGA Tour.  Fritsch's career earnings on the PGA, Web.com and Canadian Tour total more than $1.5 million. 

Fritsch qualified for the 2006 and 2015 U.S. Open Championships and made the cut in this year's event.  He also represented his native Canada in the 2013 World Cup of Golf in Australia.

Now a resident of nearby Holly Springs, N.C., Fritsch and his wife Megan are parents of a daughter, Hannah (6), and son, Jesse (2).
