Class:
1973

Boyd was Davidson's top golfer in the early 1970's, and as a senior he became the last Wildcat to win the individual Southern Conference Championship when he took home the title with a six-shot victory at the 1973 SoCon Championships while leading the team to a second-place finish. His one-under par score that year was the only time a Davidson golfer has finished under par at a SoCon Championship. Following his conference title, he went on to represent Davidson and the SoCon in the NCAA Tournament and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors, joining golf greats Ben Crenshaw and Jay Hass on the team. The previous season, he finished as runner-up at the 1972 SoCon Championships at Quail Ridge Country Club in Sanford, N.C. The four-year letterman and two-time team captain was also undefeated in dual matches as a senior. He won the Elgin White Most Valuable Player award as both a junior and senior, and was named Alabama's co-medalist for the USGA Amateur Championship in 1973.
