Scott Arthur was no stranger to national success during his career as an IUP golfer.
He was a three-time All-American, helped coach Ed Sloniger’s team register top 10 finishes in either the NCAA Division II or NAIA tournaments on four occasions and in 1977 served as the catalyst for an IUP squad that challenged for a national championship before placing fourth in the NAIA tournament.
After earning NCAA Division II All-America honors as a freshman in 1976, Arthur put together his best season in 1977. He won the NAIA District 18 title, leading IUP to the team championship, and then recovered from an opening-round 78 to shoot a 295 at the NAIA tournament in Bay City, Mich., good for third place, just behind medalist Jim Bromley of Campbell (N.C.). Arthur was named a first-team NAIA All-American for his efforts. He also helped IUP finish 10th at the NCAA tournament.
IUP won a pair of PSAC titles and twice finished seventh at the NCAA tournament in Arthur’s last two seasons. He earned NCAA All-America honors as a junior and as a senior was runner-up in the ECAC tournament, which featured golfers from throughout the Northeast.
A senior manager of finance at the University of Pittsburgh, Arthur resides in Pittsburgh with his wife, Mary Kay. They have two children, Emma and Molly.
