Christopher McClain Smith (born April 15, 1969) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour and the Web.com Tour. Smith was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, graduating from Rochester Community High School; during his sophomore season (1985), he was the Boys State High School Champion, in his senior season (1987), he finished as the state runner-up in the boys state golf championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=State Finals Preview: Prairie View Hosts Boys Golf Championships )〕 He was awarded the Fred Keesling Award following his high school career.〔http://www.ihsaa.org/Sports/Boys/Golf/MentalAttitudeAward/tabid/214/Default.aspx〕 He attended Ohio State University, where he completed a successful collegiate career. He won seven individual titles, including the 1990 Big Ten Championship, the 1991 Robert Kepler Intercollegiate and 5 other events. He was a four-time All-Conference selection in the Big Ten from 1988 to 1991; his other Big Ten Awards include the 1988 Freshman of the Year, the 1990 Player of the Year and the 1990 Les Bolstad Award for lowest stroke average. He was named an All-America selection in 1990 as a junior (honorable mention) and in 1991 as a senior (first team). Smith won the Indiana State Amateur Championship in 1990 and competed in the Sun Bowl Golf Classic in 1990. He was inducted into the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame in 2000. In 1997, Smith became the first-ever golfer on the Nike Tour (now known as the Web.com Tour) to immediately move up to the PGA Tour by way of the "battlefield promotion", which is awarded to a player who wins three tournaments in one Nike Tour season. In 1997 he was named the Nike Tour Player of the Year and also led the money list. Smith has won one tournament on the PGA Tour, the 2002 Buick Classic.〔(Despite problems off tee, Smith wins Buick )〕 Smith struggled on the PGA Tour after the win. He last played a full PGA Tour season in 2005 and has very limited status on either the PGA or Web.com Tour. On June 21, 2009, Smith's wife was killed in an automobile accident. His two children were also critically injured.〔(Smith's wife killed, children injured in car accident )〕 Smith held a share of the 54-hole lead at the 2015 Puerto Rico Open, but stumbled with a final-round 73 to finish T10. It was his first PGA Tour top ten in ten years. ==Amateur wins (12)== *1985 IHSAA Boys State Championship〔 *1985 Indiana (Boys) State Junior *1986 Indiana (Boys) State Junior *1988 Western Junior *1990 Indiana State Amateur, Big Ten Championship (individual) *1991 Robert Kepler Intercollegiate *1988-91 ''Five additional intercollegiate events'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Smith (golfer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
