Flagler College Women's Golf

Cavanagh begins his ninth season as the director of golf. He started as the head women's coach in the fall of 2008 and then added the men's head coaching duties in the spring of 2009. Cavanagh has been selected as the Peach Belt Conference's Coach of the Year three times - 2010 (men) and 2014 (men and women). He was the first coach to be named coach of the year in the Peach Belt for both a men's and a women's sport.  Under his guidance, three men have earned PING Division II All-America honors while another six have earned all-region accolades. A total of 28 golfers (16 women and 12 men) have earned All-PBC honors and one golfer, Stephanie Tucker (2014), was named PBC Player of the Year. He has also coached three PBC Freshman of the Year. Fourteen have earned Academic All-PBC honors. In the 2015-16 season, Cavanagh once again coached both teams to NCAA regional berths. The Saints finished second, in both men's and women's, in the PBC Tournament which was held for the first time at the World Golf Village's Slammer & Squire Course. Linn Weber earned medalist honors, as well as all-tournament, while Tucker finished in second place. Sebastian Barnoya and Michael Boss earned all-tournament honors for the men.   The 2014-15 season saw the Cavanagh-led women's team reach a No. 1 ranking, a first in not only the program's history, but for the department as well since joining NCAA Division II. The men's golf team won its second PBC Tournament championship. Jordan Ebanks earned medalist honors. During the season, the Saints shot a record 31 under par in winning the Bearcat Classic and Barnoya broke the school record for lowest score relative to par (-13) in that same tournament. Ebanks tied a school record for the lowest round (65) in a tournament.  He coached the team to new heights in 2013-14. The women peaked at No. 7 in the national poll, the program's highest ranking ever. The men peaked at No. 13, its highest ranking since moving to Division II in 2008-09. Joanna Yoo became the first Flagler women's player to win the PBC Championship, doing so on the second playoff hole.  Cavanagh guided both programs into the Peach Belt Conference in 2010. In its first year in the conference, the women won the inaugural Peach Belt Championship. Flagler won its first Peach Belt Conference Men's Golf Championship. In 2010-11, both men's and women's teams were nationally ranked. The women peaked at No. 21 while the men topped out at No. 18 in the final poll of the season. Cavanagh has served as the head professional at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine and an assistant pro at the Ridgeway Country Club in Memphis, Tenn. Cavanagh has also played in a pair of PGA events and a Nationwide Tour event. He played at the PODS Championships in early March and the Arnold Palmer Invitational in mid-March. Cavanagh has also had stints on the Hooters and Tarheel tours. He has also won the North Florida section championship, assistant section championship and the Northern Chapter Section championship. The Coronel Suarez, Argentina native left his homeland to attend Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn., in 1998 and played on its mens golf team. Cavanagh was a two-time All-Gulf South Conference first-team selection (1999, 2002) and also earned a pair of second-team honors (2000-01) for the Railsplitters.
