Van Horne becomes the first men's golfer inducted to the Belmont Athletic Hall of Fame, and rightfully so. The towering figure patrolled the fairways and took the Bruin program to places it had never been.
 
In 2015, Van Horne became the first Belmont golfer – man or woman – to qualify for the NCAA Championships, representing Belmont at the Chapel Hill region.
 
His astounding playing record includes six individual tournament titles and six team tournament titles – including a victory at historic Pinehurst.
 
Van Horne holds over a dozen program records, including most rounds at par or better (65), most Top-10 finishes (29), lowest 36-hole score in relation to par (-14) and best career scoring average (72.2).
 
The Georgetown, Kentucky native was the first men's golfer named first team all-conference three times, including being named 2016 Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year.
 
Van Horne's decorated playing career extended into amateur and professional golf. He earned medalist honors at the U.S. Amateur Final Qualifying and placed runner-up at the 2015 Dogwood Invitational featuring many of the top collegiate golfers in the country.
 
From there, Van Horne won the 2016 Kentucky Open with consecutive rounds of 66.
 
His professional breakthrough came in 2022, placing second at the PGA Korn Ferry Tour Utah Championship with a final round 64 to finish 21 under par 263.
