Stanislaus State Athletics

Four-time All-American Ryan Thornberry was one of the best Stanislaus State golfers in the past two decades.
 
Thornberry set the standard with the best scoring average in a season of 71.22 and holds the record with 25 top-10 and 20 top-five finishes in his career. His career stroke average is a low 71.97, currently second best in the modern record book.
 
He also shares single season records with Erick Justesen, with 10 top five-finishes and 13 top-10 results — both set in 2003-04.
 
Thornberry's best year was 2003-04 when he completed his sophomore year as the national runner-up, finishing second at the NCAA Championships in Deland, Fla. Two weeks earlier, he won the West Region championship with a 7-under par score in Bellingham, Wash.
 
As a freshman in 2003, Thornberry finished tied for third at the West Region Championships and earned CCAA Freshman of the Year honor. He was also named the 2005 CCAA Player of the Year. He also had two top four showings at the CCAA Championships.
