Nickname(s): Pat
Handicap: 4.0
Description: Pat is what’s known as a “dreamer” he is always shooting for the stars. That’s why he passed on applying to Lafayette and went to a great safety school like Lehigh while listing “Mayor of Bethlehem” as his ultimate goal. Keep dreaming big Pat!
Golf Game Description: Pat is a gritty competitor who possesses a pretty swing, and a solid all-around game, but how high or low he goes is dependent on how he gets off the tee. Sometimes he rips drives 310 yards straight down the middle. Sometimes drives leave his clubface on a 55 degree angle and nothing 70 yards right of target is safe. Sometimes this leads to 72, sometime this leads to 92. It always leads to a stressful minute each time he takes the headcover off the driver.
Greatest Moment in Golf: After enduring a five year stretch where he went David Duval and couldn't break 85, Lyons emerged from the ashes to stun Lehigh Valley legend Robin McCool in a playoff and win the Saucon Valley Buck Cup (SVCC stroke play championship). Express Times scribe Karl Gilbert said it made Lehigh over Duke in the 2012 NCAA Tournament look as insignificant as Lehigh over Lafayette in football in (insert any year here) and the Miracle on Ice look ho-hum.
Little Known Fact: Pat used a suction cup at the end of his putter in high school matches so he didn't have to bend over to pick the ball out of the hole. He also slept through his tee time in the 2012 SVCC member-member. No word on whether hitting the snooze so many times was intentional since his partner was supposed to be Varsity member Zach Sacks.
