ISU had their Scholar-Athlete Award Banquet last night. ISU golfer Tyler Swanson, who survived a horrific car accident while at ISU was given the Eye of the Storm Award for overcoming adversity and being a inspiration to other students.
Here is a great 10 min video of Tyler's story.
Before his accident Tyler was as good a golfer as ISU has ever had. To give you an idea of his talent, in 2003 he made the field at the PGA Tour John Deere Classic and was 5th in the field in Driving Distance that week. He was the first amateur to make the cut in that event since 1971 and was the first cyclone golfer to ever make a cut at a PGA Tour event.
